how long does it take to get out of depression and anxiety?
How long is the quickest someone can get out of it? has anyone suffered from it here and are cured now?
almost everyone feels depressed at some point but doing nothing won’t help. It will just keep you that way forever! I had alot of depression and I ended up taking a low dose of Zoloft, which helped a little but medication alone wont help. What helped me was my own determination to make it better. I decided to ‘fake it to you feel it." In other words- fake being happy. When you act happy people respond better to you and you have more fun and eventually you actually are happy. Sounds shallow but moping around won’t do any good, I know from experience. I also became a huge joiner and despite being really shy I made myself do a bunch of things. Joined clubs, took lessons I even forcem myself to take public speaking classes. It was terrible at first but I eventually got better!!… It took years, its not easy but only your own determination can pull you out of it. You have too see the beauty in your self and focus on that!
It depends on the person. I have been suffering from depression and anxiety my whole life but i am taking medication that has really helped me. So in my case i dont think the depression and anxiety will ever fully go away but atleast its at a point where i can function and live my life.

I can remember feeling really sad and hopeless as young as 8 years old. However, when I turned 13 my mom took me to the doctor and I started taking anti-depresants and talking to a therapist. I was on the anti-depressants until last year when we weaned me off.
I sometimes feel a bit down, but the anti-depressants and therapist actually taught me how to really deal with these problems and helped me realize that everything isn’t as worse as you think.
I have been getting anxiety, but there are a lot of things you can do to cut down on that. Like breathing exersises, taking walks, and yoga. Exercise always brings out endorphins, but I know how hard it is to get motivated when you are depressed.
I don’t think I will ever be fully cured, but life is much more tolerable now.

It depends. There are ways that may help you to get out but they need worked out. I suggest journalizing because sometimes we do not even know why we are depressed. Sometimes it can be underlying. Journalizing helps you to get real honest with yourself and not have someone passing judgement or prescription. Not saying that prescript may not help. Exercise routine. Everytime I felt I was slipping in too much to my depression, I would go work out. Refocused my mind, and made me tired. Also distance yourself from others whose behavior may ignite or belittle your depression. Depression is real but for many they were raised in a generation that mocked it. So they may not be your best people to open up to.
I was beat from behind almost 3 years ago. Changed my life and was very public. Became almost non functioning in society. Let’s say I was at a 10 being the worst, now I am at a 3. But most my answers I did not find in a doctor’s office. Or on a regiman of pills. Bad things happend, but meds just made me not feel and be happy like nothing ever happened. I have made the most progress leaving meds out and dealing with the trauma of what happened how it changed me and how I pull my self through. Majority of my progress happened in last 6 months weened off meds and dealt with it good and bad. I know as I am writing this it seems as though I did on my own but I still had and have a support of friends and professionals in case I bottom out. I do feel like I may not be out completely but I have progressed.

Ive been in and out of depression for a year now, and it seems as if the pain never leaves. It comes and goes, whether you like it or not it’ll always be with you. I suffered a really bad case of depression this recent time around and it left again once things around me started getting better, but the sadness still comes every once in awhile.

There are several variables in regards to overcoming depression, and anxiety. It depends on the severity of the depression and anxiety, and the individuals ability to overcome these issues. If a person is suffering from severe, or "clinical depression", or "acute anxiety", the likelihood to get out, or deal with it without the help of a therapist is extremely difficult, and highly unlikely. A professional should be consulted to help deal with such issues, and treated accordingly. If a person is slightly, or not overly affected by depression, or not overly anxious over an event or situation that is related to that of a common nature such as; a bad grade, an argument with a friend,a breakup with a gf/bf, then dealing with these type of issues can usually be worked through by an individual on their own. Obviously, the more your life is affected by depression and anxiety, that will be the determining factor as to how one overcomes these issues. If a person needs the help of a professional, the success rate with the proper treatment is very positive. So, a time frame really depends on the individuals situation, and "time frames" are not generally predicted.
