Personally, I think there is a very GOOD chance that you ARE depressed. Depression doesn't always mean that you just feel "sad" or that you are unable to joke and laugh. I am very capable of hiding a lot of my depression symptoms and I think the "outside world" would see me as outgoing and cheerful. You really need to learn more about the symptoms of this illness which often can be "lazyness", lack of motivation or disire, no real interests or joy from life, feeling like a "loser" or just a general tendency to want to stay in the house and be alone ( but not feeling good about it). This is not a very complete list of symptoms, but rather just something to start you rethinking your definition of depression. You sound like you are to me. One way to know for sure IS a trial of a month or more on antidepressant. Good luck, Collette
