    I often smile, even when I'm depressed. Not many people know just how depressed I am. It's often the ones you least suspect...

    You really should talk to someone. Life does not need to be like that. It happens, bit it can be fixed. You should be happy.

    I've been through depression before and even suicide thoughts. Do you actually have thoughts of being happy before, cuz if you have memories of you being happy before then your condition might not be medical (as in the chemical thing) and just might be phycological (have to do with how you think).
    but if something got you depressed along the way like what happened to me, you just have to resolve to get out of your depression. It worked for me. And also depression isn't something you'll get rid of overnight, and telling someone can help.
    Wish you the best buddie. I'm sure you'll make it through and laugh about it some day.

    Sounds like medical depression. You should get some medical help, because it is a medical condition and it can be cured. Get your life back!

    I started seeing a counsler when I was depressed. Helped me out quite a bit. If you can't talk to a counsler though. Try not to be alone and speak to someone you trust... or a complete stranger. Sounds odd but by talking to a stranger, nothing can be linked back to you... If you do it right. Still best to talk to people you can trust or a counsler. Again, try not to be alone.

    No it's not normal. Depression is a neurochemical disease that runs
    In families. It's easy to treat. Go to your MD and don't tell anybody about it. People that don't have it, don't understand.
