I have not felt normal for over 25 years

I have had depression since I was 10/11. Nothing major happened at this time in my life. I just remember feeling overwhelmed with sadness and could not stop crying. At secondary school I was called a freak/frigid/ugly/weird and I never ever felt like a normal teen - ?? more like an alien. My dm did not understand my depression and questioned why I woke up in a mood/was always snappy/never looked happy. I so wanted to be like everyone else - happy go lucky and carefree. I felt so weak for not being in control of my emotions - still do. I was and still am compared to my sibling who is the life and soul of the party. I generally feel I am mad, that there has always been something not quite right with me. I work in a professional job, have friends, dh and dc but I carry this with me.
