I definitely relate. There was a time when I wondered if I was personality disordered and was making my illness up for attention.
None of my past depressions ever fit the typical description of the illness. When I get depressed, I sleep a lot, get very irritable and teary. Everything I do requires a lot of effort, because my body tends to feel very heavy. - I suspect my anxiety disorder also contributes to the exhaustion I feel.

This is true for all my periods of depression.
About 4 weeks ago I was feeling suicidal (which is not normal for me) because of my situation. I felt trapped and didn't see any options, until my friend told me, I could reside at his place while I re-establish myself in the city, I left to attend college. He stated that I must have a job. It helped me feel hopeful about the future.
His offer eased my suicidal thoughts but hasn't done much to improve the irritability and sadness or whatever that emotion is.
