Recently, I've come to the conclusion (though don't have a dx) that I've had dysthymia (moderate long term depression) all of my life. I wondered if anyone else knows that this is the type of depression with which they suffer and if so, if there is any interest in a community for this type of depression?

First thing to do is get a dx. You could be right, you could be wrong, you could have dysthymia WITH something else. Suspect what you will, but get a dx before anything else.
