I am 54 yrs old and have had depression almost since 2001 when the place I worked at closed. Being at home alone gave me a chance to think about myself. I know I was gay but didn't want to admit it to anyone in the town I grew up in and the time that I realized I was because people couldn't accept gays. I was picked on from 5th grade until I graduated. I married a women after I got out of school and had a couple kids. I lived my life as a heterosexual the best I could until I lost my job. My wife knows now that I am gay not bi but has excepted it.
I have taken meds for about 5 years to help with my depression and know by talking to doctors that it isn't me but my body chemistry that makes me depressed. I have been felling better with the help I have been getting.
