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.

> I'm 43, but depression is about 25 years old.Sorry MA, 30-40 should have been 30-50, as I think
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.

I'm just 25.. even though right now I feel about 250! Everyone keeps telling me how young I am... but right now, I wanna be older... There just seems too much ahead of me, too mnay years to try coping with all these damned feelings...
Sorry.. went off track!

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

g'day all,
this is a great thread harry...i have often wondered about fellow babblers, perhaps not age so much but where everyone is from, if they have kids, what books they like to read, favourite old movies and so on. Kind of stuff you find out about people as they become your friends.
Best wishes
Deb. (39 and counting...)
