I haven't had depression in over a year now. Maybe two. I only got depressed when I lost my baby but that's normal. Same as when I have issues.

I think it my depression is constant, but sometimes I can ignore it and feel happy, but normally it doesn't really last long.

My depression is constantly on and off l feel more down days than good recently, which is totally throwing me off. l'd say l'm happy for one month, sad for three.

constant, just rolling between worse and worst

On and off but kind of constant. Hard to explain.

I'm an inconsistant person but my depression largely has to do with what happens around me or in conversation.

My moods are pretty swingy. I can go a whole month feeling perfectly fine, but all it takes is something small to trigger an onset of depression which can last for weeks.

My mood is almost totally dependent on my environment and situation. Haven't been depressed since I made a goal for myself.

on and off. dont you guys wish you knew where that light switch was!

All the time. Just so l can break it and never have to deal with it again.

There's always some sort of 'bleakness' in the back of my mind, but the strong spells of sadness and depression come and go.

I used to be very 'depressed' in my teens. When I think back, I really should've enjoyed back then, atleast I felt something.

Nowadays it's 'nothing.' Not in a bad way or anything, just nothing. I'm incapable of being 'depressed' now that I've made 'peace' with my position in life & the world. I live on terms of relative apathy & a superficial level of 'contentment.'

i have dysthymia, as well as the occasional fits of severe depression, so i'd say it never really goes away. but that's life.

On and off. I'd say if it were any more extreme, I could be diagnosed as Bi-Polar.

Same with me. I can feel great and be optimistic for a while, but then all of a sudden it comes crashing down and I have to fight like hell to snap myself out of it.

Constant but I am able to ignore it when it's mild. When it's really bad, all I'm able to do is cry and sleep.

I believe my depression is constant, yet, I do have brief 'happy' moments that might last a day or two. Yet, it returns back to the depression, which could last weeks or months at a time before I feel happy again for just a short time.

I take this back. Now that I think about it I haven't felt depressed in quite a while.

I may have a bad day now and then but my worst day is still a hell of a lot better than the best day for many people in this world so I really don't have much to be depressed about.

I get depressed when my life is overwhelmingly depressing. I'm usually pretty good at stubbornly clinging to optimism, but there are times when life gets so depressing, it's hard not to break down and react in kind.

My depression it's not constant, sometimes i have good times but when anything goes bad, i fall again in the depression, so it's hard to be happy with my personality -..-

Sometimes there are good bouts for me so I am not sure whether or not it is constant. How long does one have to feel good or bad for it to be constant? These good bouts usually last a day or less, after which it will be a crash landing in a way or another. Before my depression had plenty to do with moods, when I had a better time, I was feeling better, and during worse time I used to get suicidal thoughts for example.

Lately my depression has been about my energy levels. On a good day I might get around cleaning the house or going to the town or thinking about how I look, and on a bad day I am too tired to do almost anything. So nowadays a good day for me would be an energy boost, after which I'll be quite sucked dry. I don't get suicidal thoughts anymore.

I'm an absolute borderliner, so most of the time I'm either flying high up in the clouds or at toasting at the deepest depths of hell. Unfortunately the later dominates, but that's my own fault. I know in the end everything in my life is in my hands, and every situation/setting/whatever is a direct result of MY actions, of MY responses to anything that happens in some way.
Although there are many times at which I find myself lying on the floor thinking of how much I just want it to be over already and about how to get it done, I know all I really have to do is to "reprogram" myself to finally replace certain horrid action and thought patterns with good ones. It's just that it's... really, really hard to be consistent in that, and I easily throw it all away as soon as I find myself making the tiniest mistake, and that's where things get ugly :x I keep trying but it's hard as hell, especially all by myself... But if I succeed in creating an environment and a behavior I can be (at least reasonably) happy with I hope I'll be able to turn the "hell" part into the smaller one at least.

Costant.

I'm almost always down, and then some days the pressure just builds up to such an extent I'm beginning to tear up in public, but I just try and hide under my hood, to prevent anyone seeing me in such a state. The worst depression bouts are the ones where I can barely move and just sit and think, my body feels so heavy and I can't think straight at all. I don't leave my room for days when things get that bad, and rarely talk to anyone.

On/off, definitely... I roll a bit like a wheel. It worries people around me because I am found to be extremely unpredictable with moods. I could be happy but then feel like shit.
