No problem. My personal experience is not something I broadcast however it is not something I would ever hide either and have no issue talking about. Being net-anonymous obviously helps in that regard.
One thing you do learn (even though it's obvious yet often forgotten) is that depression can affect anyone. 'you have a great wife, great job, nice house and no money problems - what have you got to worry about?' Mentally we can all suffer anxiety about things that in black and white, should be no issue at all. Also, some personalities are more prone to the downward-spiral behaviour despite the cries of 'pull-up!' from friends and family. I am very much an over thinker, my brain is always working, calculating stupid things (the middle letter in a sentence for instance (!)) so tends to be thinking 20 steps ahead and calculating all the angles.
People speak of living in the moment, taking each day as a gift etc etc and yes, this is true. Being able to talk honestly about how you are feeling though, and why is probably the most helpful tool in the box. That, and having people who will actually listen - it sorts out who your friends really are!
