Have you ever gone through depression for months?

[Melanie717]

I’ve had a sad day or two, (usually with anxiety) but I can’t say I’ve ever experienced depression for more than a couple days, never a week, never a month or for months at a time.
I can only imagine how it can build, the longer it goes on. Anxiety can feed off itself, as well.
Have you ever experienced long bouts of depression?

I have never gone through depression for more than two days. I live in a society where no one really cares about how you feel in terms of depression. You are expected to brace up, find strength and live your life. That's why people hardly have sustained depressions here. I don't get depressed for more than two days.

Thankfully, I have not experienced depression. I can easily twist my thinking and feeling of whatever is felt. Just don't take a problem seriously. Be practical and realistic.

Apart from being depressed temporarily, I never have had any issues with depression. However, my father suffered from clinical depression for over 10 years. Thankfully, he was able to cure himself through alternative healing methods. For a lot of people depression is a life long issues.

I have had to deal with depression a few times, but it is usually for a day or two, and not even the whole day. I have never had to deal with it for an extremely long period of time.

I can't let my depression last for a long time. It would damage too many things and I would end up losing from so many ends. When things happen and I fall into depression, I make sure that I try as much as I can to build mental strength and rise up quickly from it.

Many people suffer from depression. Depression can take several forms. Many people usually suffer from depression due to relationship problems or financial problems. Having said that, it is really hard to cope with depression. I have been there and I know how it feels. Unfortunately, many people may never realize it and they may never feel it because they may have never experienced it.

Yes, but rarely, it only happened to me twice when I was a teenager, but over time I overcame it quite well, without any problem, which is why I always say that everything can be overcome in this life.

I think that we all go through bad times in our life and we all tend to suffer from depression at some point. There are various people who suffer from mild forms of depression and they may not even realize that they have depression. Feeling overwhelmingly sad could also lead to mild depression. This could turn into severe depression in a gradual manner, which could be a bad thing.
