Were you born depressed?

Post Reply New Topic

Throughout my life, until I figured out my scientific theory when I was 17, I felt like something was missing. Or rather, like the parts of me were missing each other, before they came together when I was 17, and I was overjoyed. But then I became unsure if theywere really together. Hence the depression.


When I was a baby, I remember being depressed. I was having a dream, and that was as good asit had been for a long time. I was a child naked in the colorful jungle, a feral child. I played and ran around alongside the animals, in peaceful companionship. but I felt like something was missing. My stuffed bear Charity was missing. i used Charity as something to fill the void between the scattered pieces of me, my soul, whatever. And even then, I wasn't complete.

Apparently I was a happy we bugger until about 6 or 7 years old, but I feel like I have been anxious and depressed since year dot...

I wasn't born depressed, but I feel now like I've been depressed so long that I'm almost comfortable in it.

No, I was a happy kid until I reached my teens and have been depressed since then, apart from a period of about two years in my twenties when everything was peachy.

My old schol reports all mention that I was anxious ..... at 6 years old !

If anything things have got worse !

I was depressed all throughout my childhood, and my parents had the attitude where if I couldn't explain what I was so depressed about, I wasn't worth their time, and if I didn't shut up about it they'd do something... I dunno what. But I was scared they'd yell at me and make me even more depressed. I feel resentful to this day about it.

i dont remember it myself but someone said when i was in kindergarten, i cried more than the other children. every little thing seemed to make me cry. my earliest memory was first grade. i remember crying when the teacher called me to see her even though i wasn't in any trouble (that teacher had called some troublesome kids earlier in the week to punish them so i assumed i was in trouble).

My mother said I cried ALL THE TIME when I was an infant. I NEVER SHUT UP.

I usually can't explain it either. My Mom asks me what's wrong and why I'm depressed. I just get depressed I don't think there has to be a reason.

Was I born depressed???

I really hope not

No, its not a clinical issue for me. I know Im capable of being happy too, just as long as bad things dont happen. Of course pretty much for as long as I can remember there have been too many instances of this for my sensitive side of me to handle, which f****d me up for quite a few years. Im still way too sensitive though.

Possibly, though it's gotten worse since I was 12.

I wasn't born depressed. I was only depressed throughout high school.

I was probably born depressed but I can't really remember. My memory is really bad. I know that I have been anxious all my life though.

Naturally.
