Re: How did you realize you were depressed?

[(Anonymous)]

It took a long time of thinking and talking about my feelings before I realized I was DEPRESSED-depressed. Like... I would say when I really started struggling with serious, big-deal depression was around when I was 19/20. I did therapy for a few months, fell off the bandwagon. Graduated college, started working for a while, spent at least a year and a half of that time being seriously depressed.

Around the time that I was 24 I opened up a lot more about my feelings with my mom, who told me she thought that I was depressed & convinced me to go see a therapist. And even then it took me like 3 or 4 months for the therapist to convince me that I was seriously depressed & didn't just feel sad. And then another couple months and a major depressive episode before she convinced me to go on anti-depressants.

So.... basically, I realized I was depressed after about 5 years of being depressed, and both a close loved one & a mental health professional telling me that I had depression. The facts were there for a long, long time before I was ready to acknowledge them. I don't know if that's helpful - because I really can't point to one sign that proved I was depressed. There were an avalanche of signs that I ignored because that's the way that depression makes you think.
