I am one of them. I reckon my mental problems are to do with having my mercury and venus in Capricorn.

I guess it could be because Aquarians tend to not address issues that they should do. They let their "easy going" nature pass by on things that they should take firmer ground on. This is the complete opposite for a Leo who would be OTT in stating their case and causing a fuss if they felt that they were being slighted.

I dealt with depression, I say it started around age 10 or 11, haven't had a bout of deep depression in about 3 years, have my down moments but they last a minimum of a day if that, sometimes I'm jus emotionally tired from over thinking and over analyzing and I need a rest.

::gasp:: glad my depression days are over

drugs, never been interested in them, don't like the idea of losing control of my emotions, i'm wacky enuff without them lol!

same here. When I go out...the rush of being whoever and whatever I want for the night is enuff for me. I usually have a good time sober, BUT i dont want to see myself drunk Im too much of a control person for that.


Aquas do deal with insecurities...but I dont think i've ever gotten to the point of serious depression...I wouldnt allow that on myself.

I'm not sure why I struggled with depression, I have alot of Capricorn in my chart and I hear Capricorns tend to battle with depression, I can only imagine that this is why but I'm not totally sure.

I did drink in my early 20's, I can still drink like a fish if I want to but I see no need to do that anymore, my dad is a Capricorn and my mom said he was a heavey drinker, I only found that out after I told her how much I was drinking and then I stopped after that.

I drank to forget when I was battling depression but not to the point of blacking out only to the point of forgetting how f*cken bad I felt inside, then I gave up all my vices and said f*ck this I'm going to conquer this demon and all hell broke loose LMAO! I couldn't go another day/year being depressed...guess I won *grinning*

someone told me because my rising sign is taurus, I have this never give up attitude, thank god for that.

Now its social or an occassional glass to unwind but nothing heavy.

ok now let me be serious.haahaa
i have never been addicted to any substance as such.i don't i can get addicted to anything.self control is very important for me,and i keep my self under check.
depression,i did get depressed a few times in my teenage.but that was minor,basically i had career related issues,and related confusion.i wanted to go into law enforcement or the military,but i fell sick at that time.then when i was fine,i suddenly changed my mind.it was a phase filled with turbulance.
life settled a bit when i came out of my teens,with a clear mind and set goals.then i was at ease because i knew where i was going.
as far as self harm goes,the only trouble area is my hyperactive nature.though i may look calm to others,i am the opposite inside.my mind is in a total rush hour at all times.and my body follows.i need channel this extra energy constantly,which is why i keep myself busy with many things,like sports,i play tennis regularly,sometimes rugby or football,or cricket.i go gym regularly.otherwise i feel restless.

I have never had an addictive personality, but i did smoke & do drugs in High School. When i hit college, i decided it was time to kick it all and i did ... cold turkey so to speak.

I did suffer from a sexual identity crisis when i was about 16. I got it into my head that i was a lesbian and that terrified me. I laugh at this today - how rediculous to be afraid of that, but back then (20 years ago) it wasn't as accepted as it is today. Why I even had that i idea, is a mystery to me, but nevertheless, i obsessed about it for about 2 months straight. I decided to talk to my doctor and she put me on anti-depressants. This lasted about another 2 months and i said screw that! I depend on myself and nothing else! Where i found the strength is again a mystery, but it proved to me that it wasn't depression i was suffering - i was just in a confused state and needed to talk it out. Anyhow, the entire misery process lasted about 6-months and that was it ... never again.

I also know 3 male Aquarians, and everyone of them has had some emotional trauma & drug or alcohol addiction to deal with. They are all now older and seem to have been able to pull themselves together.
