Struggling with Depression and Anxiety for Over Two Decades

I'm 45. First trauma was when I was 6. Unavoidable and all, would have been fine older type of thing.but yea...that started the precedent.

I was diagnosed when I was 18 I believe but I have been living with GAD & depression atleast since I was about 12 or 13. I'm 29 now. Sending love your way friend!

I was 16 when I had my first attempt. Was struggling before that though. I turn 38 next week. Lost my job over a year ago and still struggling more than I'm not. I'm tired of it too

I have depression anxiety and OCD have had since I've been 6 44 now. So many doctors and counselors. Many different medications.

Ok these comments making me feel a lil better about myself seeing other people been having the the same problems since the same age as me I’ve been dealing with anxiety and depression since I was 10/11 and I always thought something was really wrong with me but I’m glad I’m not alone

I also have been struggling since about 13 I am 39 now. In a strange way its nice to read everyone's comments. I never checkout stuff like this before always thought I was alone.

As long as I can remember

I have had mine since around 3-4 years old. I’m 30 now. I’ve gone through a lot of what you have. I also have Bipolar too.

I come from a long line of people who “came out miserable,” and I’ve been depressed all my life. It can feel really isolating

Been struggling since a young child. 36 now. Just so tired of being alive.

And I have also been to many hospitals and doctors

I am so sorry I 22 and I have depression I have had it since I was 15
