I was just wondering if anyone here on Boomer has ever been diagnosed with depression and/or anxiety? I ask because  back in August 2007 I was diagnosed with both as the result of something that happened when I was younger. It struck me as funny though. . .because - according to what I've read, seen and heard - I didn't have the "typical" symptoms of someone with depression. I wasn't sad all the time (my problem was getting angry at the drop of a hat) and I hadn't lost interest in my hobbies or anything. As a matter of fact, if anything, I found myself trying to do them more because that - and "extracurricular activity" - were the things that made me the most calm and happy. I'd really like to hear from anyone who has (or still is) dealing with this problem.

Walter, there is a depression Group on Boomer.  I tried to invite you a while back, but I got the response that you were in all of the groups I was in.  SO go look it up.  It is one of the few groups that is still going strong!!  WUV, Mary Lou
