I ask because I have known people who say that "I've always felt this way" so it took them longer to realize that they were depressed because they didn't have an earlier, better frame of mind to compare to.

Well yeah, I think I've always had low level depression ( dysthymia)
And never really had any ambitions, too many interests, always thought I'd figure things out in college. All I figured out is there's no real career out there I'm interested- partying, drinking and smoking weed made me social- cut that out and I feel like a shell of who I used to be. Thoughts of being more social again, memories of good times back when I used to use can be triggering. I think I am depressed, but I'm trying not to be. . .
