At what age did you (if you did) get out of depression, /b/?

>>669265796
Gonna make a real attempt at this....

If you think you have depression get it clinically diagnosed. Don't just assume it. Most of the time it's just you either being an attention whore, or refusing to obtain something you feel is missing from your life. People have the ability to "pull themselves out of depression," they just lack the willpower to do so. So find out what you are looking for, and figure out how to get it. For example, if its a girlfriend, go get a job, go exercise, and gain confidence by acknowledging your day to day accomplishments l.

I started being depressed when I was 11-12 as a result of seeing my mother be abused I'm 16 now and I still struggling with it today sometimes but it's not as often as it was

I started around puberty, my depression didn't go away until I was 30, 33 now - hang in there, and thank you for the pillow asian.

Understand that the past is the past, you cannot change it, the future and what it holds can only be changed by the present. Try to clear all thoughts of past and future and just focus on the here and now, do your best - this way you can shape the future into something you want.

Ooops, you said your age, underage faggot. Sorry for whatcha going through, but never say your age. You'll get banned!!!!

>>669266294
Yeah man, thanks for concern, I'm having my first appointment this Friday.

Also, isn't "just lacking the willpower to do so" one of the more common symptoms of depression?

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

the only reason i havent blown my head off is due to lexapro

when i dont take it i start asking myself "whats the point" and realizing there is no point.

so its that. either take meds and live or dont and die

>>669265796
Around 20. I had a dramatic shift in my life that made me reframe my perspective. Probably helped. Mind you, it never fully goes away. Stay busy anon. It helps a lot.

No idea, sorry, I found if on /fit/ the other day.

It's clear from the way you type that you're an underage faggot too. Kek

Looking back on it, I can say that I've been depressed for almost my whole life, and it only got bad enough to receive a diagnosis when I was 17. What's bad about that is that from a very young age, depression had shaped my personality, for better or for worse, and medication took it away. Because of that, I couldn't figure out who I was without my depression, so I'd get into cycles of not taking meds so I could feel like "myself", and taking them again when it gets bad enough I do something stupid or lash out at friends.

>i didn't ask for those feels anon

Depression is normal and everyone feels down every once in a while. Treating this shit like a disease is ruining society.

Stop being a bunch of whining pussies and grow the fuck up. Stop buying into this bullshit and making everyone pander to something that is a normal part of life.

>>669267000
Checked


Now, you've only received a diagnosis when you were/are 17? Please. You're a fucking child. If it's legit, you were probably raped and molested.

27 y/o. Even more depressed than ever. Actually in my teenage years I was never depressed, I was just a loner but I enjoyed my time with myself.

Moaarrrr

>>669265796
No fucking idea when it started, 25 now. Spent a calender year from 2014 to 2015 actually preparing my suicide and the only reason I snapped out of running under a truck and sought help was due to being really fucking confused that I had fallen in love with somebody. I've never felt anything one way or another before.

I feel like that as well, sometimes.
>and by "sometimes" I mean "when I'm on speed"

I don't mean to mock you though. Your reply makes me a little bit bitter, but I understand your perspective.
>when I'm on speed

It had gotten bad after the death of someone close to me, afterwards I got a few months of therapy, and eventually a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder. At the time, my psychiatrist said it was possible there was a genetic reason for it, since my older sister and a few other family members have it as well. I've been on SSRI's for a while now, but I appreciate the concern for my boipussi.

>Depression is normal
Maybe on 4chan, it is.

>>669265796
honestly, I started recovering when I got my first job at 17, and after I lost my virginity at 19, depression almost entirely disappeared from my life. I still have relapses because my genetics and lifestyle leave me vulnerable, but getting some responsibilities worked out really well for it.

>I first really started noticing my symptoms at the age of 14.
>At 17 I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with Severe Episodic Depression and Severe Anxiety.
>18 now and I'm still not 100% better.
>I don't take medication
>No counseling

They did tell me that I'll never feel happy all of the time. So there's that. I dont think I'll grow out of it

>>669265796
Grew out of it about 19-21

My depression started when I was ~15, haven't really ended (turning 19 in a few months).
I don't know, I think it's just because of all the shit in my life, not because of hormones.

Dumping moar

when i stopped using drugs to run from my personal issues and face them head on. by overcoming these issues that caused me to use drugs in the first place i raised my self esteem, self confidence, social anxiety disappeared, i stopped feeling sad because i no longer struggled to fit in, i stopped caring way too much about what others thought about me, and i gained great motivation to kick ass in life.

its a matter of getting off your ass and making a change. change is uncomfortable thats why we sit in our shit for so long. but the reward of being free greatly outweighs any justification you make up. if you dont put amy effort in to improving your life you cant magically expect it to change for the better. stop being a bitch and do something about it.
