I'm sorry man, but that sounds awful. I'm a depression alumni with you. I did it all for a good 7 years - hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, then medication, then "fuck medication, I'm fine!" and "fuck medication! It doesn't work!", then heavy drug use and addiction, and counseling throughout. The feeling can be beyond words and the energy needed to talk about it seems beyond us but I've gone the pretend route where you put on a brave face and act like a different person and it's just not healthy. It leads to you being even more depressed and no one having a clue which is so dangerous. I don't have the answers to getting over it (which I have done, personally) but I do know that acting like a different person isn't a good way to go. I hope you're better these days, feel free to get in touch if not. I'd be happy to talk about whatever.

Fwiw, I believe depression has certain deepness of thought and getting over with it is better than not getting it at all in the first place.

  Not true,if you have really had depression you WOULD NEVER wish it upon ANYONE for ANY REASON. Srry for the caps but it really pisses me of when people mAke this glib saying. Depression is a SOUL SERIAL KILLER. LIFE WITH IT IS A LIVING HELL THAT IS ABSOLUTELY INESCAPABLE except for a few bright spots. It's connected with creativity and braininess becuase depressed people OVERCOMPENSATE for their perceived weaknesses-they also tend to cope by keeping occupied at all times.
