If we don't have a catagory, does that mean our depression doesn't exist? COOL! I feel much better. :-) 44 yrs old going on 70 (or at least it feels that way some days)

I am 36 and have been married 19 1/2 years and my oldest kid (of nine) is graduating from high school next month. I don't think there is a"genuine" age catagory for me.

the majority of people are in their 30's & 40's.
My mistake.

It seems that my assumptions were close to the
mark. So far I'm the old man here. I'll wait for
additional responses before I tally the results.

Harry, I think that by the time Mozart was my age, he had been dead for 6 years!!
Thanks to Tom Lehrman for that one. The old folks among us will understand.
Actually, I can't remember exactly what age Mozart died at; I was guessing 34, and I turn the big 40 this year.

What is great is not the revealing of our ages but
the comments that accompany.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm a soph at university and I live in a house with 4 other guys. None of them know about my illness and sometimes I'm not sure which is harder hiding it from them or realizing I will probably be dealing with this thing for the next 60+yrs.Brandon

I'm 41. I look better than I did in my thirties, thanks to a major weight loss. I do feel wiser. I'm not sure if my lower anxiety is all meds, or also partly attributable to aging.
When I turn 80 I plan to start smoking again, do some really fun drugs, fart whenever I need to, swear like a truckdriver, and say whatever I damn well please!!! Who cares if any of it is addicting , deadly or offensive! Oh, yeah, I'm gonna eat whatever I want, too! Now I have things to live for...Renee N

I'm 37 going on 17. Having had self-worth that was below zero most of my life, I think that some aspects of my maturity were stunted. I'm jaded in ways, wise in ways and darn right silly and immature in others. That's just who I am.

harry,
Now that you know everyone's ages, find out where they live and see if theres any coalation between depression, ages and geographical locations.Could you write a Nobel Prize winning paper? I think SO.....
This has been one of the most interesting posts I've ever seen, some of the comments are priceless. Thanks.
Greg
