Any uncomfortable situation, even the smallest that is deemed trivial and acceptably tolerable by others, triggers in me an extreme fight or flight response. Most of the time I choose the flight option and withdraw. I think this is what causes me depression, or at least one factor in the problem. I harbor so much anger inside me. I keep my frustration and anger inside me, and become resentful. Not to mention how this hinders me living my life and exploring my opportunities in life to take a place in this world instead of being the nobody I have been. I don't know how to deal with these situations when someone disrespects me or when I feel ignored and not valued.
I don't have an anwer about your depression other than do positive things (nature, exercise, eat nutritiously), read positive things and be with positive people (PC is like people when you are isolated). Do keep posting about things that make you angry. I think unexpressed/unprocessed anger can be very dangerous. In my case, it fueled a serious attempt. I think one of the positive ways you deal with things is "intellectualizing" the problem. Dealing with things factually can defuse some of the emotions within us that cause us problems.
