I'm not sad ALL the time. I can destract myself. However, that desn't absolve me of all the underlying reasons as to WHY I get depressed. They are still there... even when I ignore them. When I'm not down about it, I am still rather frustrated avout the situation regardless. When I inevitably dwell on that frustration, then I get depressed and swallowed up by it.

I don't know about that. This isn't some newfound issue. The age thing was since I was 16... and now I'm 30... I've been trying to figure out what to do with myself since somewhere between 18 and 20 and being very upset about not being able to BE anything. Thats at least a decade of yet-to-get-through-this.
