Officially, since I was 9/10 - about 45 years. When I was 19 I was dxed with a Depressive Personality Disorder. There have been a few short Ups, mostly followed by great periods of guilt and self-punishment, and some very good days which have always been followed by major crashes.

If I had to quantify on a scale of 0 to -10, -7 is my norm. -4 is a distraction filled, low physical pain day. -9 is my darkest depths.
