There's a history of depression and other mental conditions on both sides of my family.
I had horrible depression when I was in my teens, and was contemplating suicide for about 2 years straight. I managed to keep it extremely well hidden from my family, until I came clean about it a few years back. I went and spoke to a doctor about it, and they didn't want to put me on meds, and referred me to an NHS psychotherapist. I made it to one session, since I really thought blaming my feelings on the fact I didn't own designer clothes was more than a LITTLE off bat, to put it lightly.
I don't know if there's something going around, but I'm feeling rather iffy emotionally at the moment as well. Hmm...
