This is what they had down on paper when I was younger. I think the description still fits somewhat for me... Nothing ever got better. I think I've also had a few periods of major depression, which complicates it a bit for me. My therapist at the time wasn't a big fan of labelling things.

I know right now I'm not as bad off as other people with depression as I can still go to work and enjoy some things. That being said, and I feel so guilty for saying this, other depressed people seem to go up and down over time (months or years) but I feel like I never get a break from it. It's either bad or worse.

I hate the label and the description. Mild depression is such a load of crap.
