Actually may I have been depressed for well over 9 years now and I would try and do things to keep me from feeling "BLUE" The only problem is I was masking it with being busy and stressed, the stress then led to anger. That is what I was trying to get help for when my depression hit me full force. I was hospitalized for three days when I was diagnosed Major Depressive Disorder. So I guess what I am trying to say is do not try and mask your depression with something else because it will only make it worse. I made so many exscuses for my anger and it was not until I was honest with myself that I realized what was going on and who I really was. I feel so much better about my self and I am not depressed like I used to, still get emotional sometimes. It has really helped me to find this group and the support of my family as well. Things will get better, this to shall pass.
