I've never been to a doctor about depression but I'm really considering it lately. For the past couple years I just feel different. I'm kind of ashamed to admit I'm feeling this way. I'm rarely ever happy even though I got a lovely girlfriend, great friends and a great family. I feel like I should be happier, but it won't just happen for me. I've never told anyone I am dealing with depression because it just feels embarrassing to me. I feel trapped like I have a disease that no one knows about and just am too scared to come clean.
Anyone have any stories to share? Not looking for sympathy, just to hear stories of people who dealt with similar situations.

I have, and it tied closely with my insomnia. Funny enough I think my insomnia helped create it, not the other way around, which is usually what it is. Anyway. I don't wish to divulge much here, but if you want, feel free to PM me, we can talk.
You are brave and smart to ask for help.
