1. I've had some experience with counselling and psychotherapy. Truth is I really don't see my depression as a bad thing. I see it as something that in my case is entirely logically routed and I don't understand why other people are so happy all the time. I don't see myself as someone who needs help or curing, but the only sane person in the room. I guess I just want to know how to live my life as a person who's different mentally in certain ways rather than feel like I need to thinking positively like the people around me just to survive.

2. Ah, that's cool. I'll look into it although I'm not sure I would personally classify as disabled, or even want to. I certainly don't see myself as disabled in anyway.

3. That's a really cool service. I wish I could sign up, apparently it's in private beta and I can't see an email form anywhere. =(

And yeah, some people relate of course. But in my experience it's probably around 1 in 25 who relate, with probably around 5 out of every 25 who strongly dislike people who are depressed. And I'm not hating on these people, I almost hate people who are unrealistically optimistic all the time, but society often tells us that kind of disorder is good. Which is crazy to me.
