I think, though it's hardly any consolation, that more people suffer from depression in their lives at some point than don't suffer, and everyone but everyone has something to contend with; a phobia, a fear, plentiful hang-ups and inhibitions. I think it simply indicates that you are an extremely sensitive person and goodness only knows this world wasn't designed for the likes of us! One book I very much appreciated on depression is Sally Brampton's Shoot the Damn Dog (yet another reference to black dogs). She takes you through her severe clinical depression and ends up explaining how she dealt with it in some very helpful ways. Then it was really brave of you to talk about this.
