    depression, since childhood but didn't know it

    Same here.

    I didn't get diagnosed until my mid 20s when I finally realised that not everyone saw the world with the same gloom as I did.

    I am also a lot more angry at people and just society.

    How about being actively discouraged from working out? In high school, I was asked to join track and field and volleyball when classmates saw how I did in phy ed. Had to turn them down, since it would "distract from meetings and service". So I started running, just because I liked it and heard more of the same after people saw me in my neighborhood.

    Now I'm trying to get back into fitness and it's hard. I should have just ignored those gossiping idiots.

    Things improved actually, gave up alcohol the year I left and have been sober for 12 years. Other than just getting older with its expected stuff its been ok.

    Is that anything like Geritol? I think you can get some at the pharmacy!
