Cancerians and depression?

Hi there i just wanted to ask my fellow crabs about their experiences. I know that alot of people have our star sign as moody and sensitive but am wondering if any of you have been told that you are suffering with depression?

i know that peoples life experiences have alot to do with personalities and am not jsut basing this down to star sign but nevertheless was curious to find out if any of you have been told that you suffer with it and which way you went forward.

A few years ago i was told by my doctor that my glass was half empty but never half full which was true at the time, i felt that in recent years things have been much more positive however after having a meeting with my manager today at work she said that i resemble someone who's glass is always half empty and never half full! so that sent me spiralling into my thoughts that maybe the situation isnt over. I also have a cancerian friend who has suffered with depression and she had undergone counselling yet again she still seems to focuss too much on the negative side of life.

So is it that we are just naturally pessimistic? or is there a depressive side to the crab? any thoughts on this?

i think people's circumstances and i also think family history (if depression runs in the family) might play a big role in whether someone is going to have to deal with it or not on a regular basis. i say this because we all go through small bouts of depression but i think it depends on how we deal with it and how long we let it affect us when it becomes a problem. as a cancer, i am generally happy but yes i do fall into blue moods but they don't last very long so no i have never been diagnosed as having depression and normally don't feel depressed. i think human nature tends to look at the bad stuff in our lives instead of the good but positive thinking is something most people have to actually learn. i have started to learn to focus on the things i do have and not on things i don't and i am the only one who can truly make me feel happy. not sure if that helped or confused you more.
