And that's the difference between minor depressive disorder and major depressive disorder. Thank you for attending Depression 101.

Lol I thought I was over my depression...but I guess I've been depressed my whole adult life.

I am sorry for being the bearer of sad news. Suicidal thoughts are the most easily recognizable of the symptoms. And even if they are less persistent between major depressive episodes, a lot of us are still stuck with depression in one form or another for the rest of our lives.

i can at least tell you that the mood swings do get less the older you get. My 20s were by far the worst phase, the 30 started to get better and in my 40s i "mellowed out", but it still hits me a few weeks per year.

If you have those thoughts without much of a break, i would really recommend getting a solid diagnosis (personality disorders? add/adhd?) and have a hard look at the stress factors in your life and how to cut back on them, ideally with a seasoned therapist.

When you can recognize thoughts are fleeting and smart enough to never report them on paper.

Yeah, that's my plan, but I can't while my parents are still alive, because it would make them sad.
