It sounds like you have a very unique way of dealing with things. I can't really relate because when I'm depressed I'm sad and stay that way. which is most of the time. I can remember feeling happy when I was much younger but not anymore. Only sadness and dispair. That's not to say I can't fake if I have to but it takes a lot of energy and leaves me very tired afterwards. I hope you find some help with your issues.
