How many years have you lost?

I've lost almost all my teen years, when people are supposed to enjoy the best :/

I lost almost my entire childhood from age 5 right through my teens. My adult life has been patchwork of episodes right up until now. I never got any help until at the tender age of 34 my wife showed me the door to another way of dealing with my issues.

i'm currently losing my teen years
I lost years when I had depression. It held me back a lot. I would say 6 or 7yrs.

it still holds me back, at least on a personal social front.
at work, ironically, i can actually function quite well, but the person my co-workers think they know is only a front. If anyone sees a glimpse of the real me i freeze and panic. Dont ask me why, i dont know, it just happens.
So in a way, personally, im still being held back.
Work front, im prospering.
Its all about perspective.

Somehow I managed to keep studying, to think of it as just routine, something I must do want it or not, but in everything else I've been always dead, especially in the social sense.
Since always these studies have been helping, I guess, to feel I'm not totally worthless and just a garbage bag, but let me need money, find a job... and we'll see what happens. When real life starts I don't think I would have anything close to a life...

I've lost 11 years and still going. I'm trying to get myself back in order, though. It's working, for the most part.

I wasted 8 years on a relationship when I'd have been better off alone.
Other than that--- being agoraphobic doesn't mean I've wasted my time... probably.
Or maybe it has~?
I'd prefer to think I haven't wasted any time, but instead; made mistakes and hopefully I can learn from them eventually.
Can't change the past~ so I'll try not to whine about it too much.

Most depressing thread title ever.
Most of it since high school graduation, with little gaps of normalcy here and there.

Too many. I quit school when I was about fourteen years old, and haven't done anything productive since then. Well, I held a job for a year when I was 16, but was laid off. So, since THEN, I've been nothing but a reclusive parasite. I feel like my life is totally limited and basically worthless. Yay!
One day closer to death
I'm not sure what counts as losing a year? I mean I was still alive and all, I just haven't done much with my time, ever. With that then I'd say my whole life basically, and who even knows how much more in the future. The future is bleak, I don't see myself doing anything productive any time ever.
