Have you ever been depressed?

[Anonymous]

just wondering how many other people their are out there like me. and if you have been share yor experience. also i dont really have the kind of depression when your crying all the time or cut and stuff, i mean i cry everyonce in a while but im kind of at the point where i have no emotion and sometimes i wonder if im even still human i feel like my personality has died. i dont find things i normally find funny anymore or i do but ill keep a straight face when i used to burst out laughing over things that werent even that funny. i literally just feel no emotion i feel like a zombie walking through life, or i feel like im frozen and everyone around me is moving. anyone else?

Oh of course. Everyone does from time to time. What can be tricky is when it's prolonged and seems unstoppable, as you may be describing.

My recommendation would be to start exercising more and digging into your interests (whatever they may be). Start creating things, artistic or not. It may not matter to anyone else, but any creative endeavor that makes you happy will be beneficial in the long run.

Life may not always share the best things with you, but you most certainly have power to grab the best things out of life, depressed or not.

I have. A long time ago, I would just be tired of life, spending all my time
lying down looking at the sky, couldn't make myself do anything.

It started when my father died. But when I awoke from a special
dream and when I met my girlfriend some time after, it started to get better. ^.^

Yes! I was accused of stealing my classmates' gadgets. Their gadgets disappeared in snap. The teacher accused me because I was very silent that time. The reason why I was silent because I was going through a family problem. They avoided me. Even my best friends. I got used to it for a few weeks. I didn't get enough sleep and never said a word. Until it was proven that it wasn't me. I got rid of those "best friends".

I feel exactly the same. It's kind of weird at the same time, I have an odd personality at the same time lol basically I know what you mean

I... think so?

Used to be fat and picked on a lot, like, joke of the entire high school level bad.

I never really sat down and officially confirmed if I was depressed or not at the time, it's not like it's some kind of light bulb that goes off like, "Bing, I'm depressed!"

I've fought with depression since my parents got divorced at the beginning of my freshman year of high school. It was at its peak when my first love broke up with me my freshman year of college. It's gotten better over the years but I still go through phases where I'll get depressed for no reason. It sucks.

A friend if mine is having the same absence of emotion I'm trying to help her. I have gone through depression after a bad relationship but I think there's a huge difference in being depressed (worse than being sad) and having clinical depression the medical disorder.

I have terrible depression, I start out every day in a good mood and then the slightest thing will have me fantasizing about putting a gun in my mouth. I smoke a looooot of weed to cope with my mental illness and I have to say it works wonders.

Yes, a few years, after serious surgery and a new job and a child. It was like a train in a tunnel, but a tunnel with no light at the end. I got through it without professional help. Only my wife to help me.

Exactly how I feel all the time the last year, its hard but you just have to enjoy the good days as much as possible and distract yourself on the bad days.

I am depressed. Sometimes I am actively unhappy, but other times I just... don't feel anything. I don't care about anything, don't want to do anything.

[DoraLikesSugar]

I suffer from clinical depression. Not going to bother going into detail about it though because who wants to sit and read a sob story? Zzzzz

[kartoos]

Happens to me once a week well, its normal for humans to feel depressed..

[Stuff_and_stuff]

Yes. I just got out of mine about two weeks ago...
