I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety a few years ago, and I'm doing pretty well. Recently though, I came out as bisexual to my parents, and their negative reaction on top of the stress of my first year at college has been pretty difficult to handle. I've made it past the worst part of the hurting when it comes to Mom and Dad, thankfully, but other stuff has been bugging me.

I'm already sure that my meds are not managing my anxiety the way they should, but that I'm at least aware of--I'm uncertain if depression can linger under the surface, so that it affects your life but you don't really "feel" depressed.

To explain: I've been having a lot more trouble doing anything productive, getting out of bed, going to classes, cleaning, basic stuff like that. I just want to sleep all the time. I feel happy, mostly, I have nice friends and an amazing girlfriend and whenever I'm with her I feel wonderful, but... it's odd. My anxiety has definitely been worse lately, but the feeling that I want to sleep and not face the day because sleep is so much easier and feels better, not being able to manage my workload (which is pretty light), eating at weird times, odd sleep schedule... all of that to me says "Caution! Depression!" Is it possible to feel happy and still be depressed???
