I know depression affects how we feel and to some extent how we act towards others (being very complicated in intimate relationships). I
don't believe, however, it should be used as an excuse for trying to hurt someone else. I totally agree that you are not a rotten person, but I
believe in spite of your depression, you can learn to act in civil and respectful ways towards others. And that in itself will make you feel better
about yourself. Shellie
