Did anyone else feel a sense of anger when told they had depression? To me, depression = victim status. I couldn't bear the thought of being a victim. Have I been hurt? Of course. But, I'm angry at myself for ever allowing it to affect me, which I guess, at least subconsciously, it has.

I initially went to therapy for anger & destructive issues, & T says that anger is a symptom of depression... (which dug up a whole lot of my past I'd rather not think about). I'd rather be senselessly angry!! I kicked the crap out of my coffee table just thinking about it.
