I never thought of myself as depressed. Then I tried to sign up to be part of a Stanford Study, and the person reviewing my answers to a questionnaire rejected me for depression and said I should get help.
It was absolutely shocked at the time. But in hindsight the frequency with which I considered ending my life should have been a clue.
