There's obviously something wrong with me, but last time I was evaluated nobody could find anything wrong with me. So even though I have tried to kill myself three times I am apparently perfectly healthy and sane. And anyway even if someone did tell me I had a mental illness I would probably not believe it.

I do agree with the people who say being depressed makes you a better person. My experiences have certainly made me more caring and they've really opened me up to the suffering other people face in the world. I mean, if I'm not even "depressed" and I feel this bad, how must it be like for the people who've been depressed for 30 years, have driven away all their friends, are unemployed and broke?
