Ilive4music, the same thing happened to me. I understand your pain. I too had a hard time figuring out when and how to say I have depression. Because it's very obvious and it is definitely a part of me. But that doesn't mean it makes me any less like-able. Someone else was saying how he had some issues of his own, and that most certainly is close-mindedness towards getting to know and understand mental illness. I don't blame him...not a lot of people in society are jumping up and down to do that. But the ones who DO understand are the ones who are worth your time. That's my thought on this, I know it still is very painful to have someone reject you for this side of you that isn't something you can really control. But just because I have depression doesn't mean I cannot desire a partner whom I can talk to about my troubles.
