Have you or have you ever had depression? and what effects did it have one you life?

Question:

"Depression affects people differently, It is a mood disorder that causes you to feel sad.

Answers:
Yes I had it. It was out of control. I was having a lot of personal problems which I kind of blocked out of my head now. But it felt like there was no solution. Like I was helpless. All I wanted to do was sleep so I wouldn't have to feel anything. Its not about being selfish. We're all human and we all feel bad or sick at one point or another. And when you feel sick how can you think about anyone else when your body doesn't let you think clearly or function? You can go on meds and they help the symptoms, but the only way to really overcome it is by helping yourself and fighting it yourself, and not giving up, eventually things start looking up again. But you can't give in to depression.

Other Answers:
I've thought many times I had depression, although the only reason people thought I didn't was mostly because I felt confident enough to get out of bed in the morning. I'm still just as depressed and no one thinks I have depression. I guess I'm just having a tougher time than the average person dealing with life. The only effects it had on my life were taking up time for talking to people about it, and making me feel miserable quite often.

A lot of things can cause it, but it is fed by selfishness. When everything becomes about you then it is easy to get and stay deppressed. Try doing things for other people and focusing on the needs of others, and for goodness sake, tell a friend that has their life in order and isn't carrying thier own emotional baggage. when i was in 3rd grade i was and it made me very sad and made me think every1 was always talking about me and i was paranoid and that was like 5 years ago but it makes you feel very bad about ur self

i had very bad depreeion when mine best friend of a heart attack i would cry every time i would see a funnel

i have three kids and a very big case of depression. Between my husband and the kids and work. I noticed I gained alot of weight and I really hate my self. I'm turning 30 and now it's about me. I'm getting my life back. Walking and finding time to work out as much as I can. Hang in there it gets better.

For me it seemed to hit overnight. It was like I suddenly couldn't get out of bed one morning. It is hard for me to do anything at all. I am use to a very active lifestyle but now even taking a shower is a major accomplishment. For me the cycle of not being able to do the things I use to and then the negative self talk keeps me depressed. It's hard to see a way out. Get help. I never was one of shrinks or medication but it got to the point I was willing to try anything to feel better. I hope it helps. I had depression for 2 years.. it was total hell and so annoying >< i had constant suicidal thoughts and other horrible things constantly bugging me. then i starts on medication XD which doesnt work for any other depressed person around here. so its probably just all in peoples heads^^

I had it bad

Im depressed a lot. My parents are abusive. My depression started after i woke up from a drug-induced-coma. because of my depression ive treied killing myself several times. Don't let your depression get that bad. If you do get medical help right away. Termanation isn't the answer.
