Yes. Terrible feelings of despair that I could not pull myself out of. Very scary feeling that helpless.

I've been depressed. Really badly depressed - at least, more than any other 14 year olds I know.
When I get depressed I first get snappish, and I'm cussing at everyone and everything.
Then it's like coming out into blinding light, stinging at my eyes.
All I want to do is to curl up in darkness and disappear.
When I find I can't do that, I scream or cry, often curling up or lying on the floor, and wishing I could die.
There have been many times when I wanted to die, but I have never had the guts to attempt suicide.
But there have been days when I have been so depressed that I couldn't even cry.
One day like that I just sat there, not crying, not screaming.
I was blaring music and my eardrums were practically popping, but I didn't care.
I hadn't eaten for two days, but I didn't care.
That was the day I cut my own arm with a razor.
Looking back now it's a time I would never want to go back to. But I still have the scar on my arm, and for some reason or the other I am a little proud of it.
One thing's for sure - if you're not depressed or have never felt depressed, you should be GRATEFUL.

the symptoms that I have had at the worst point included laying on the couch/bed and being unable to get up, even to feed myself, take a shower, only to go to the restroom. My apt. was gloomy, I wouldn't answer either the door or the phone. My clothes went dirty alot because I didn't have the energy to get up. I cried for no reason or for every reason. I felt guilty, like I wanted to die, even though I knew I wouldn't kill myself. My personal grooming was a mess; I wouldn't shave, brush my teeth for days, wash my hair, change clothes for days. I lost weight because I would not eat. Extreme pain caused it.

Nope, but I imagined a person suffering from depression would be awfully depressed.

Actually, I didn't have much in the way of "feelings". I lost interest in things that I loved doing. Lost interest in my family, job, and everything. Even music. Here's my story, if you want more:

yup, but it's only mild depression, cannot work with focused attention, feeling so down, sad and tired all the time. just pray that you'll overcome it, and it will just go away.
