I am life-time depressed person. Do we have some people here who can live with it for years?

While depression can be a lifelong battle, it doesn't have to define you. With the right support, you can learn to manage the condition and live a fulfilling life, but that is totally up to you. Life is what you make of it, depressed or not.

My mom is the only reason for my depression. But i have to live with her at least 4 years during my university. After that, maybe i can manage. I hate her.

Well, I can't relate to that, even though my mother couldn't care less about me. I haven't seen or talked to my mother since I was 16, but that would never cause me to feel depressed. I repeat, life is what you make of it. Life doesn't revolve around parents, especially at your age.

Well you saw my recent post. I've had depression on and off since I was a kid. Since like 10-12 years old?

Keeping active and having goals and keeping busy helps but it never really goes away.

You are still young. See a professional to get help. I was extremely depressed at 18, but got no help. Finally I started seeing a therapist as I was going through a messy divorce. Saved my life.

Yes I have. But I understand why depression is deadly. It gradually wears you down
