How long have you gone in life with it feeling like things were worse than usual?

Only as a kid growing up poor and up until around 22 years old, then I figured s*** out and life has been a blast ever since and that’s coming from a huge Drake fan

Mid 2018 - Late 2019

S*** was in the DUMPS fr, felt like a bum and failure and didn't know how to get past it at the time

Damn man. End of 2020 got pretty rough for me for about two months. I was able to pull through it but I was just beaten down mentally and had long term anxiety that was starting to physically effect me

might just be rn

2021-2024 (here’s hoping)

never had one

Hard to say exactly because the start and end dates are not exact, but it was at least 40 months. There’s a strong case to be made that it continued for 14 and even up to 25 months longer but that period was more up and down. You could perhaps argue for 10 more months added to the beginning. Even the main 40 month period had a period of roughly 6 months where things were on a steady incline, but then COVID happened so it became an intermission rather than a breakthrough. The last possible end date was roughly 14 months ago.

Around 2 years now, also physically

Sending love gang

2018 to now

From 2008-2010

And late 2023 to late 2024 ~1 year

2020 to now and i cant see a way out frankly

Mid 2023 to right now

maybe like 5 years tbh

Feb 2021~Aug 2022, thank god that’s over

The entirety of my 20s

Hang in there fam

Been a good ~5 years now. Idk what I’m doing

2006-2016

When I was like 8 I got depressed af and remained that way thru high-school and middle school

🤝🏻

at the peak like 16mos but it dragged for like 5+ years of slow improvement

even now as things keep improving i keep looking back at 'the good times' like "dam was s*** rly that bad still??"

years bro life was good but i felt like i wasn’t going anywhere

covid's 2 years

im an at risk person - it stopped my irl work, distanced/strained/destroyed irl relationships, stopped all my planned doctor appointments that got pushed back years and i literally couldnt leave the house most days

it was terrible and the most ive ever been stopped by force that was totally outside my own control 100% of the way

if you’re 30+ now can you say anything about being 30+ like im on paper successful in my 20’s but feels like i might look back now and wish i took advantage of some stuff i have now in my 20’s
