hmmm...sounds confusing...she knows about your history but there's nothing wrong with you...it would leave me unsettled also...

Is this a self-diagnosis...the depression...or did you see a professional? Either way I guess your Aunt may not understand what it is...maybe some articles from here would be helpful to share with her. There are a lot of people out there who really have no idea what mental illness is all about. I would not spin your wheels trying to convince her though if she is resisting learning about it.
