I won't vote because royalty is above such pettiness. And I'm the King of Apathy. And black humor, too. I was diagnosed with clinical depression years ago, though. And my life is like a car stuck in the sand. I spin my wheels but never get anywhere.

Maybe that's why I'm so interested in WWII. One of the worst times in human history, with plenty of hardship, suffering, and struggle to read about.

I voted for bot "[Yes, I have a milder/intermitent form of depression" and "I don't know". I believe I have some form of mild depression, but I've never been to a doc for it so I don't know for sure :)

I have a mild form of depression. I'm not sure if it's possible but it comes and goes. I usually feel alone in the summer when I don't really go out and have nothing to do all day long. I'm ok at school and when I'm with people I know. So basically, whenever I get bored, depression follows.

I'm the exact same way. It can also range from just feeling bummed about my life to having suicidal thoughts. :(
 
I really have no clue if I have it or not. I already have negative thoughts since my childhood. My parents used to abuse and humiliate me when I was a kid. They yelled at me all the time. They always told me that I wasn't smart enough. I was slow. I was not like the others. My parents used to like other people's children a lot, but their own kids... aaargh! When I was at primary school, the teacher found out that I had problems with maths and my parents said that it was all my own fault, because to them I didn't work hard enough. They told me that I was lazy, but that was definately not true. They told me that I won't have a future if I'm not good at maths. When I was 9, my dad yelled at me almost every day. He told me several times that if I'm 16 and still can't learn like everyone else, then he will kick me out of the house. My parents only wanted me to focus on school. They actually seldom let me do the things that I've always wanted to do. Then another problem... when I was outside, I didn't know how to deal with racism. I was often harassed by other children, because I'm asian. The memories of childhood still freaks me out. I used to cry a lot when I was a school-child, because of all the anxiety and frustration. Often I do worry about everything in my life and my future. Sometimes when I feel so ****ed up, useless and scared... then I usually have suicidal thoughts, but depression was never diagnosed. So I think it's only social phobia.

It would seem to me that your life is a spawning ground for depression. Such a sad fate to befall one so intelligent. My parents are the same as yours and I have suffered as you have as well. My condolences to you.

Yep, diagnosed with major depression at age 13 when i finally went to the GP about it. Just thirteen years old, although i've had it since i was 11. Makes me so upset seeing kids that age now depressed, just want to reach out and hug them all. I have a milder form of depression now, progress! :D

It varies, I had my last serious streak of depression a few years ago, but I'm still a sad and bitter cynic, even my closest friend once told me, that my negativity is hard to bear.

Ah, take heart! Many people are unable to appreciate the wonderful humor of us cynics. Besides, I find negativity a far better option to blind optimism.
