Not really, no.
I'm a pretty happy guy
I mean sure, I've had my down days, but in general, I'm content with life.

Constantly. Some days I don't want to see anyone, talk to anyone. Some days I don't want to exist. I tell myself "Just get through today, you'll feel better tomorrow." And then just hope I will.
Yes, for quite a good amount of time. It was a rather ferocious cycle when I was getting into my teens with the help of a multitude of bad events in my life. However I am lucky that in this point in my life I am at a fairly good spot in my life, even if some parts of it are still poor.
I've struggled with depression since I was 13 and my dad commited suicide.
You being to learn to live with the bastard known as depression. Never truly goes away mind you but you have to make a point to still seek pleasure and happiness or you may as well blow your brains out.

No, not yet.
I get kinda annoyed at the overuse of the word `depressed` (especially when I was a teenager and my friends were declaring themselves depressed if the tiniest thing went wrong), but at the same time I know its a thing a lot of people deal with.
My mum has depression and pretty much has had it since before I was even born. It got worse when I was around 8 and it affected my life a lot. Not only that but I saw how it affected her. I've never been that bad.
And I say not yet because I've heard some depression can be passed down and that you're more likely to have depression if someone in your family does. So the jury is still out I suppose.
Obviously I have had times when I felt very bad, but I am reluctant to give it a label.

There was a point when a couple of relatives I was close to died, as well as my dog that we'd had for ages as well. The worst I felt was after trying to explain that - in the way that you have to, to a kid - to my little brother (who is Autistic) that the dog (that he'd known all his life up until that point) wasn't going to be coming back. I managed to get through the chat with him about it without crying, but my god I was like a tap when I was alone in my room afterwards, as it all hit me like a truck that these relatives and my dog were just gone, never to come back.
Besides that, I've had a happy life. Obviously, like everyone else I have bad days, but they tend to be outweighed by the good.

Same here, dude.Daystar Clarion said:Not really, no.

I tend not to get down, as I always find ways to cheer myself up and keep my spirits high.
Yes... actually, i'm just coming out of it...
I just graduated highschool and decided to take a year off to earn some money before heading to university. Unfortunately, my friends didn't take that route and left for greater things...
The transition from "Having a great many friends that I can hang with on a whim" to "Having very literally nobody to talk to for weeks on end" left me in something I can only call a depression... It didn't help me that my girlfriend, who was a year younger then me and is still in school for the year, dumped me soon afterwards...

Indeed. My two lowest points happened within the same year: when I was institutionalized and my whole family turned their backs on me for something that didn't happen, and later when the boyfriend told me that he believed the relationship was going downhill and that I may have to seek to go elsewhere.
No... Not really. I'm just a "glass half full" kinda guy. If I get depressed over something i'll think it over and find some silver lining regardless of how bad it is.
Strangely enough, I remember being depressed for about 4 days straight after witnessing the ME3 ending.
I think the only really, really depressing thing was my extremely brief time working as a Healthcare Assistant in the NHS. Fuuuuuuck no. Nononono. No. That made me feel the worst I have ever felt in my life. I was depressed, anxious, had a migrane all the time and was made physically sick probably from stress. Quit after a month and a half on a ward. Nursing can fuck right off.
BTW if anyone wants to hear my theory about how all professional nurses are insane go ahead and ask!
EDIT: Wow a decent chunk of girlfriend/boyfriend related depression in here... Lucky i'm totally independant of all that shit and am at my most comfortable when on my own amirite?!
[sub]Seriously, I think I might be actually terrified of being too intimate with someone[/sub]
