One of the most insidious aspects of depression is that it is a bona fide and treatable disease (much like diabetes or athletes foot) and yet it FEELS like a character flaw to the person afflicted. Ask me how I know.
Once successfully treated I looked back and realized there was actually nothing wrong with "me"...any more than there is something wrong with "me" when I have the flu. I was able to look back and say, "Hey, I'm actually a pretty cool guy who unfortunately got hit with a nasty-assed illness."
And I am 100% certain you will have the same experience.
