I have this recurring feeling of inadequacy always creeping up on me. Being around other people I'm reminded again and again that I'm not like other people.
I don't talk openly about my depression and having been depressed, and therefore people don't know why I am sometimes act the way I do. Why I have certain issues around other people, why I can sometimes go quiet and get down over something that was said. I just feel inadequate to people my age in so many ways, and it's hard to deal with. It's especially hard when I deal with people I don't know that well, like colleagues, who don't know about my history which can explain why I am the way I am.

Have anyone one of you told colleagues about what you've been through. Or do you have close friends you tell it to?
