For those of you who have suffered from depression for most of your life, do you think you will one day just end it all?

Asked by tinyfaery (44106points) October 22nd, 2015

I have been suffering from a major depressive disorder since I was a teen. I have had very low lows and I’ve been stable for long periods. I think about being dead a few times a week, even after all these years.

I’ve been relatively stable for 4–5 years or so. I can’t help but think one day I’m just going to kill myself. It almost seems inevitable.

Can you maybe tell me how you have felt about your depression over the years? Have you had similar feelings? Have you been able to feel normal? How do you think you did that?

I’m not looking for opinions on what you think I should do. I’m more interested in your story and the things you have done and what you think about your own depression.
