Thanks. I've posted repeatedly about feeling distress over my "depression" not being real or valid. I mean, last night I laughed! I was watching something on Youtube and laughed until I couldn't breathe for the first time in months (really, I went from crying for the first time in months, to laughing harder than I have in maybe a year, in the span of 24 hours. Is that normal?), possibly a couple years. I can't be depressed, right?

If I'm depressed at all I'm dysthymic, stuck in a chronic low mood that spikes up every now and then, but it doesn't last long. But there's plenty of egoism mixed in too (granted, I'm increasingly convinced I'm a narcissist). So maybe, like an article I'll get in trouble if I post claimed, I'm not depressed but merely selfish. I don't know what to make of myself.
