Some people grow out of it and some people don't. I know that I will, but for you that's different. But it makes up who you are so don't hate it.

It really depends on your situation, but if you have chronic depression, then yes most likely. But, that doesn't meed you will feel depressed for the rest of your life. If you start therapy, get a good friend support system, and maybe even start prescribed anti-depressants, you may feel a lot better towards life and yourself:)

No. You can overcome depressive thoughts with therapy, medication, deep breaths, meditation, and more calming techniques.

I am not sure but , you can try to tell friends or family. So that people can help you. But, if youre not telling anyone about it, it can be difficult and maybe dangerous as well

I have accepted i have depression and can only do as the best I am given in my life. There are times when I need help and when I ask I want the same from the person as if roles were reversed hat I be there and listen to their problems. I want sometimes to be complimented for the steps I am taking and to feel like I matter to someone. I don't want to be yelled at only sat down and to talk about things I may do wrong and how to fix them I need to let myself know I can only do good when I apply myself to changing the issues that I have failed in. I want to be respected for who I am good or bad and for others to see I have a heart just like them and I am special in some way to others. I don't want to run anymore and say no or i can't i need to learn to say it's just a hurdle I can overcome it or I know I can do it. I need to work on making myself better for me before others. I need to keep telling myself that I can only do good for myself when I push myself to those goals. I need to stop being my worst enemy

Depression is a difficult emotion, and sometimes it can be a lifelong process. However, with positive coping mechanisms and potentially therapy, depression can be alleviated and manageable.

it depends, it usually goes away with help from friends/family/professionals/medication but some form of depression might always stay with you or may go away to re-occur, but it dosen't have to be a bad thing, you could use that to help others who feel alone and depression can be manageable.

Depression can stay whole life if it is not treated, you can see a good therapist, therapy, medicines and some Lifestyle changes can help. All of that would recommend by a therapist. Depression is treatable you don't have to live with it rest of your life. Hope it helps

Depression is chronic (for the rest of your life) but it will get better and worse throughout your entire life, so it may feel like your depression goes away sometimes.

No, you do not have to live with depression for the rest of your life. It would be great importance, to go and speak to your doctor about what has been going on- He can support you, put you into contact with professional counsellors etc, he may put you onto medication that can help :) Always here if you need to speak :) And we have depression chatrooms here at 7cupsoftea, with people in the same situation as you. You are never alone.
