Welcome to my world sucker. Firstly I don't know what type, but they stuck me on prozac. Now on something far better in tablet form. Depression usually makes good artists, and poor philosiphers.

Here is a picture which perfectly depicts depression/ life:

1. Have you ever been diagnosed with Depression? If so, what type?
Yes, but I'm not too sure what type actually. I don't really care either, but yeah. Post Traumatical Stress stuff involved anyway.

2. Do you receive any kind of treatment? If yes, how effective is it?
Therapist. Doesn't work for me, AT ALL. Doctor offered meds, but I got scared of that, how lame is that.

3. Does the disorder affect your daily routines?
It definitely used to and I couldn't really do anything at the time, but I'm coping now.

4. How does depression make you feel? ("Depressed" being the obvious answer It would be good if you could expand on that)
Pretty much like nothing matters. Not just me, just nothing. That there's no point in anything and it makes me wonder why the hell we're even here.

5. Imagine you were to paint a visual image of depression... what would you paint?
How cliche, but, lots of black. And.. I don't know..

1. Have you ever been diagnosed with Depression? If so, what type?
A couple of years ago. I don't know what type though. They never really told me much about it. I actually didn't know I was once 'depressed' until a couple of weeks ago. Of course I always suspected it, but I never really knew for sure.

2. Do you receive any kind of treatment? If yes, how effective is it?
Just some good 'ol talking to a therapist. It didn't really help me, and I refused to take any medication.

3. Does the disorder affect your daily routines?
I'm not depressed anymore, but at the time it really did. I couldn't really do anything, I was usually too emotionally drained to even get out of bed, and if I got out of bed I still wouldn't do much.
Going to school was extremely difficult for me, it was really tiring to be around people all the time, and pretend to be happy, just so they wouldn't start asking questions.

4. How does depression make you feel? ("Depressed" being the obvious answer It would be good if you could expand on that).
At the time I felt extremely empty. I didn't care about anything, I didn't want to care. I wanted to be alone, invisible even. I felt emotionally tired. The slightest thing could have me burst into tears.

5. Imagine you were to paint a visual image of depression... what would you paint?
A withered black rose in a field of beautiful red roses.

That is one awesome painting
