I got diagnosed when I was. 11. I'm 25 now. I've lived most of my life with major depressive disorder, it's so hard to grow up without motivation. There were numerous times in my life where I just wanted to not be here. I think it was a lack of motivation that actually saved my life a few times. Treatment is hard to come by and when you've had it for an extended period of time The effectiveness of certain treatments is diminished. It also doesn't help that I live in the US and that medical attention that I need is really expensive. It definitely creates a distance in between what I need to do and my fear of growing medical debt.

Been depressed for 18 years. Pills are dangerous. Wellbutrin XR gave me horrible costo attacks, Sertraline made me fall asleep constantly and Mirtazapine made me endlessly gain weight which was dangerous for my self image. Therapy can be good or bad. Some therapists have no waiting list and suck. The good ones have a long waiting list. Once your are deep in major depression, you mentally want to try something like walks, something homeopathic, do volunteering BUT YOU CAN'T. You tried most things already. Relationships sucked. Travel sucks. Hobbies suck. People suck. Work sucks. The world sucks. Everything is bullshit and corrupted. Makes you feel paralized. What is the freaking point.

So true. Depression is the illness that sucks out your ability to even feel anything positive. Thered no more dopamine, serotonin or endorphins. Depression takes them away and all your left with is either deep misery or total numbness.

I get what you're saying but it depends on the person. Pills may be dangerous, but sertraline didn't impact my sleep at all, I was just yawning and it definitely helped. Mirtazapine fixed my sleep and I gained no weight and got rid of my anxiety very fast. And venlafaxine for me has been a life saver in terms of depressive symptoms. Please

20 years of depression have taught me that the pills don't work(or they work too well and dampen all your feelings) and the vast majority of therapists haven't got a clue. what ever your depressed about your supposed to be depressed about, people who disagree are wrong! if you've lost someone, if your bullied, if your stuck in a situation you can't handle or escape, if your stuck in a world run by idiots at the behest of oxygen thieves, if your every waking moment is a shit storm of horror then it's totally reasonable for you to be depressed. my advise... stop caring, apathy is your friend. If you don't care if you live or die, might as well live. If your going to live, might as well enjoy yourself ( And if you enjoy yourself too much your in the same boat you would have been before.) and if your pleasure upsets people around you, enjoy the schadenfreude :)

Damn... My 20 years of major depression have taught me that I shouldve reached out and took medication from the start. I have finally found a medication that seems to help some. It hasn't cured anything by any means.... but I now have moments of joy, and you shouldn't encourage people not to take medication. I am so sorry that they haven't helped you, but they do help many people (myself included, at least so far).

[@ShinkuGouki]

I wish you really didn't care,but you do. You care what people think. You care if you matter to others. You care if you offend someone. You care if people will miss you when you're gone.

What pains me the most is I thought Ive gone through it all. I thought I became stronger since Ive started self improvement but no it came back 10x freaking stronger. Hit me like a truck. Everything feels heavy. It started when a thing I looked forward to happening didnt happen. It suddenly felt like everything Ive been doing is not doing something. Thats when my past depression hit me. I thought I'm over it but then all my past regrets and the lost opportunities came to me all at once. My mistakes and every negative thing Ive dealt in the past conjoined which makes me feel like shit. I got up so many times back then but the unexpected thing happened which brought me down again. This time it's the worst.

I’ve been in various treatments for my MDD since I was 14, and I’m 26 now… still holding on, but I don’t think anyone takes seriously or genuinely how debilitating all of this is. I have been let down by most medical practitioners who still seem to give off the impression that I’m doing this to myself, or that I just need to try harder to get better. What I don’t think they understand is that it’s just torture, day in day out, and just because my pills make me feel numb, doesn’t make living with this any easier. I want to feel, but when I let myself feel, all im getting is sadness, guilt and pain. It’s just awful. Those small moments of happiness come from the moments life makes so few and far between - quality time with family, time to just exist and be content with who and where we are. I’d just like a break.

[@chromaticturtle8657]

Was diagnosed at 20, I'm 31 now, I had nothing, my family all moved away and never visited, keeping a job was hard as I'd taken to drinking just to feel even a little bit of joy was in and out of the hospital a few times and it even hindered me taking my anti depressants because I genuinely thought it would never get better and the only logical choice was to end it all, it's scary when your dead set completely sober minded thinking you'd be better off dead. Once I met my now partner of 8 years through a friend though it DID get better, I felt I had a purpose, we take care of and protect each other, and we've stuck through all the problems either of us faced and we did it together, if I could go back and have a redo of life without MDD I wouldn't do it because that'd mean I'd never meet my partner, and those dark years were worth soldiering through just to have him in my life when I needed it the most

[@tugrulgul5903]

ı just trust my Allah

[@rebeccamclaren97]

In the stifling darkness Through my veil of tears Approached my ugly monster, Confirming all my fears. "Your life, it has no meaning, Your struggles will not cease. There is no point in trying; You'll never find that peace. Your heart, it won't stop racing, That panic in your head Can never be abandoned, Until you wind up dead. Anxiety will cling to you Through every day and night Self-loathing and depressive moods You'll always have to fight. The doctor and the therapist May try to give you hope But really all they're saying is, _We can prolong the slope_ . The slope which starts in darkness And ends in darkness too, With unrelenting sorrow Where every day feels blue." I push the monster down And tell him, "No, this isn't fair." But he responds in equal haste, "You're broke beyond repair. You'll never live like others do, Never be understood; No matter how you fight it Your attempts are just no good." I sit and sob and try to make Some sense of all my pain. I'm crippled by the knowledge now I'm going down the drain. Yet to the world, I'm all OK; I nod, I smile, I wave. They do not know, Nor care to know, I'm just a marching slave. Slave to the dark which grips me tight No matter what I do, Slave to the fear and shame and guilt Which I just can't pull through. Some tell me not to give up hope: "Hold On, your Pain will End", But with a mental illness It's all just make-pretend. A series of unending storms Long, hollow, tragic days. Haunting in empty hopelessness Joylessly bleak in every way. All those who aren't acquainted with Depression's thorny ways Think I am just some lazy fool Wasting away my days. "Grow up" they tell me, "Go outside", or "Try to have some fun." As if I could brush it away And it would all be done. They cannot help but undermine My tiny, feeble voice. They think this illness is a joke They think I have a _choice_ . "Look at your glass a different way", or "Don't be such a drip," It's not an easy fix, you guys. There's no "advance" or "skip". Four years ago I understood The things you think of me Because I knew what feeling was And I was fully free. I'd not been trapped or chained or held Back then as I am now. It came from nowhere, Stole my years And I just don't know how. It makes no sense, It leaves no scars, 'Cos scars come when we heal. There's been no healing process Numbness is all I feel. Numbness and wounds And nothingness, And thoughts I can't explain. A deep, dark sense of helplessness To reinforce the pain. "No options left", whispers the night; "Your life will not see joy". And I believe that monster now For he's here to destroy. I'll be honest now I've come this far I don't know what's ahead. I'm just exhausted from this life And want to sleep instead. A long, sweet sleep of freedom Where breathing doesn't hurt. And I won't have to play pretend; I'll just rest there, in the dirt. (Just wrote this as a bit of therapy, going to send to my family bc they can't understand me. I'd be a hypocrite to judge them; I was once in the same position they were. Outside, looking in. Now I'm the one on the inside, looking out at all the blank faces of people who don't have a clue how serious this illness is. I hope this poem doesn't upset anyone or cause negative feelings. It's intended just as a reflection of my poor human state ♡)

I've had depression and anxiety for about 6 years now, im only seventeen and a junior in highschool. People keep trying to tell me that all I'm feeling is normal for teenagers and I'm not special and I'm being dramatic, but i know im not. I know that how I'm feeling isn't normal. Normal kids my age don't struggle feeling anything at all most days. It feels like I'm not even a person, or like I'm watching as someone else controls my body. Life just feels grey and meaningless most days. Im at a point right now where im just not sure what to do or where to go. I can put in every drop off effort i have and still be failing half my classes. It just feels like nothing's worth trying. If my best effort isn't enough why try at all right? I know i shouldn't think like that and i know i should just keep trying but I'm at my wits end. I have been trying to get help and just be patient because "things will get better" but it's been years and i haven't seen change and i just don't know how much longer i can convince myself it's worth it. I don't want to let anyone down but im just so close to giving up.

[@Eric-cm9ri]

I know I'm majorly depressed I have lost interest in most things and have suicidal thoughts often; I think life isn't worth living and waking up every day is more of a curse than a blessing. Everything in life feels futile; succeeding or failing in life doesn't really matter to me, in the end we all die and neither success or failure means anything in the end. One generation comes and goes and a new one rises up until their end as well. Yes I would say I'm very depressed. ☹️

It's been almost 4 years now and I'm still the same; no friends, unemployed, no dreams. I don't know what to do nor what I wanted in life anymore.
