Depression is REAL and unfortunately poorly-recognized especially among family. Often they think we can toughen up, and deal, and our failings are due to poor character and choices. You don't want condescension or pity, you want support and help. I would recommend professional diagnosis before breaking this to your family. A doctor's word will carry more than yours in a society that lumps us all into one equal mental category. Your family may not understand without this confirmation.

Brutally Honest, am I bad person?
Sorry I should have stated this before I have already been diagnosed with clinical depression, I was described anti-depressants but for me they drained me of any and all emotion where I became disconnected, which is worse right?

Thank you for sharing. My sister is in the same situation - she's working to stabilize her live off of drugs since they maker her loopy and dissociative. I tell you my experience because I was one of those who did not understand what she was going through until she was diagnosed and I took her seriously. I have been through my fair share of mood issues, so chalked her issues up to weakness.
