I agree. Having been depressed, I can relate to both the typical symptoms of depression and the "new" ones, but as in your case I didn't let people know in general. There was a certain pride in emotional independence I felt that I think men have to a greater extent than women. Being more open about it is obviously healthier (it's like emotional load balancing), but society has made independence a virtue, especially for men.
