How many here have been depressed for a long time? Doesn’t it seem that no matter what happens, or how much time passes, that in the end, you still wind up depressed? It seems like a never ending story- a sad, sad story of our lives. Not to say that it’s not impossible or can never happen, but it seems for most of it, it’s something that perpetually plagues us, for years and years, and decades, until we die of either old age or finally pull the trigger.
IDK, life sucks. That’s it I guess.

You’re right about that. it seems to never go away. Ever.
Some people might be okay for a little and some can even eventually get by day to day, maybe even feel content but I still think it’s always a part of them, in the background.
Not that I know this for sure, just my thoughts on it.
I’d be surprised if it did go away, it’s not like catching a cold or having the flu, it’s more like a rotten plague that eats you alive. at least it’s consistent? 🙂
I have suffered off and on (mostly on) for over 30 years. I think it’s safe to say, it isn’t going away anytime soon! I think the terminally depressed can find some glimmer of happiness here and there, but the dark shadow seems to always find a way back in.
My depression is like this little thing inside of me! as I grow, it grows too.
I wish we could kill it off for good (without having to kill ourselves first)
