I can't really see how that would come as a surprise. Unless you thought it was normal to be sad all the time.

Hope you're okay. Just know your friends will always be there to help you.

To me, it seems like if you don't know that you're sad, then you're probably not sad. Maybe this is naive of me, but I feel like you have to know what your feelings are to have them. If you feel happy, then why wouldn't you be happy? If you don't feel sad, why let somebody else tell you that you are?

have you ever really been happy? that can be a reason that you wouldn't know that you're sad all the time.

also, depression isn't always apparent to those who have it.

Sounds reasonable to me. We definitely have a big problem with over-diagnosis these days.

one of the anons got it it exactly right.
"sometimes the beople with depresson dont know they have it."
apparently i'm a hazard to my own health.

didn't it ever seem weird that everyone but you was happy?

Try to remember that you're only a hazard to your own health if you don't take control of your actions. Aim towards that. Also keep in mind that depression is not simply feeling sad, its when you can't see the possibilities around you. Luckily, any medication they give you will help you not to feel so helpless. But also know that a diagnosis does not define you. You are not your condition, it is only one aspect of your being.

Wait, so let me get this straight. You didn't know that you were depressed. But then you went and spent a few hours with some doctor. Who said that you were depressed.

Please explain.
