When did you first experience signs of depression? mid-seventh grade, about. my grandfather had just died, i was at a new school, and my father's alcholism was getting worse and worse. shortly after eighth grade started and my old friends had completely abandoned me, i was hospitalised.
How would you define your depression? bi-polar. definitely. that's the best i can do, seeing as how i really am bi-polar. my depression fluctuates to great extremes when un-medicated.
Are you vocal about your depression, or do you prefer to keep that aspect of your life private? it really depends on the situation. it's not something that usually comes up unless it needs to, or just does -- especially if i'm with someone who doesn't know i'm bi-polar while i'm having a manic attack. it also depends on who it is, and how comfortable i feel with them knowing.

A little while ago, I welcomed you to the "Round Table". Others may call this their "Circle of Friends". I've been waiting to have you read my LJ entries and decide whether or not to friend me back.
I've given those I've added to my friends list until 7/18 to decide. At that point those who haven't friended me back will be removed. You were one of those that had yet to friend me back.
Sorry I didn't make myself plain to you. Thanks for always caring.
