A few years ago, I was extremely depressed. I was suicidal. I would think about getting a knife quite often. It scared the hell out of me and I thought I was going crazy. I finally told my parents and had a total breakdown. I had to go to counseling and be put on antidepressants. I was only 12.
I've recovered and I no longer feel this way. But sometimes, quite frequently actually, I will fall into bouts of depression. I have no idea why. Sometimes they can become rather severe, but never as severe as they used to be. I don't understand, though, because I have no reason to be depressed whatsoever. I think I may also have some sort of anxiety problem, which has lessened slightly over the years, which may sometimes contribute to the depression. Is it normal to become depressed so frequently? Might I have some sort of problem?
