Hi Wishingstar,
Being dysthymic I can't remember not being depressed. I don't think you caused your depression, the birth control pills might have triggered it, but it's nothing you chose to have happen.
I was depressed before I started birth control pills, I've actually been on them for thirty years, so I can't say if they contribute to my depression as depression predates my taking them. Remember there are many levels of depression, major depression and feeling suicidal is at one end, the other is where I'm usually at: low level depression that just sort of hangs around me.
If you can get yourself to talk to Ginny about it, I would. I know what it's like to feel to blame for everything that is wrong with yourself emotionally. I blame myself for everything.
