Minutes, usually. But if a loved one were to pass I would be devastated for months, I imagine.

Depression and suicidality used to last for years and years with me when I was in my teens through my forties. But nowadays, it only lasts for a few seconds if at all. I haven’t been depressed for many years now.

There doesn’t seem to be any difference between length if it was caused by something or not. Severe episodes (total agony) for me only last a couple weeks, mild episodes (just feel unhappy with life, no excitement or joy) can last months.
Whether or not a mild episode turns into a severe is based on if I can do things to prevent it from escalating in time.

I was sad all day today. Just waiting until it’s late enough to go to sleep so I can start again tomorrow.

Mine really depends. It can last from minutes to hours to days. It often goes back and forth between sad to okay and then back to sad. I don’t know why.

Today was another sad day. I cried a lot and listened to some music from back when my loved ones were still around and thinking about how much better things were with them around. My grief is unrelenting. It defines my life now.
