> i feel im in the same boat as you, being afraid that if i ever do get better, that life will have passed me by. i have had depression since i was 17 and im 24 now. i have much the same problems as you.. feeling sluggish, no energy, confusion, just feeling blank and no pleasure in anything. it is really hard, feeling like you're stuck in a jail cell even though you are out in the real world. i just cannot wait to start feeling better....
I hope it happens for you soon. 7 years is a long time to experience the things you so eloquently described.
I would just add that, at your age, things seemed gray, cold, lifeless, and dismal to me. There was some melancholy. Things just didn't seem right. I couldn't put my finger on it until I read a book called ""Mood Swing" by R. R. Fieve. Then, everything made sense. However, depression remains irrational. It is irrational that we should suffer this way for years on end. It is oppressive.
