"I refuse to accept your reality, and substitute my own."

Guilt gets me. That is, guilt - usually unfounded - grabs me whenever my deep depressive apathy allows it. I've
posted about it before. Maybe there's something there for you.

I know debate surrounds the whole subject of depression, but my distinct, unprofessional observation is that depression needs no "reason".
Music Rules Me, your family life may be good, but it would be better if your loved ones had made you feel confident in approaching them about anything without fear of causing disappointment. You, however, had no control over that.
I hope you get a good response to your email. Based on your post, reaching out (there
and here) wasn't the easiest thing for you to do. I applaud you.
