Nikki,
I was not saying anything about choice with clinical depression, no, that certainly is not a choice. However when you feel angry at your husband its "I felt angry what he said or did." Not, "He made me so angry" or "What he did made me angry." His person and or actions may arouse the FEELINGS in you; but the anger itself comes from within you (or me).
It's the way we North Americans have fallen into a bad habit in speech that turns out to be an error in psychological functioning! I occasionally still do that also, and I get paid NOT TO DO THAT SORT OF THING! (And I am not even a native born American!)
I hope that clears it up. The next time you have a strong emotion, try to stop and think about it.
