I’m sorry to have to say that yes I’ve had depression last more than a year. I was very isolated I stopped seeing friends answering the phone and emails. So there was no one around to notice and get me help. It finally turned mixed and then I voluntarily looked for help because mixed is hell. My depressions when younger were more active and no sleeping unfortunately they gave me AD for them which turned into hell. As I’ve aged my depression is just one long apathetic episode where I retreat. But these long depressions were untreated. My poor cat went a long time without wet food cause I couldn’t get to the store more than once every two months and I just dumped bowls of dry food in a couple rooms. His toilet was neglected too but trooper he is he never went else where. I didn’t care if I ate or not. But he has long since forgiven me.
