i havent taken an advil in 10 years i will not touch meds or drugs like that however i suffer from severe anxiety which of course goes hand n hand with depression & chrons disease . depression can mean many things, you dont have to be suicidal to be depressed you didnt explain much about how you are so theres no way to tell you however i can tell you are being offended by it in the way your wrote your thread like you want us to back you up in not being depressed so imho that does sound like denial. you have to get out of depression by being positive going to see someone like a therapist. they will help and simply just tell them you do not want to take meds.
