Depression question

Hello. I am so unhappy at the moment but don't know how to tell wether its depression talking (I am on antidepressants and have a history with depression) or real things that are affecting me. How do you know?

Are the real things in your life things that would normally make you unhappy? Are they things that you would expect to make other people unhappy? If so, then it's reasonable to be unhappy about them.

If they're not, then it's probably depression making everything seem much worse than it actually is.

Good thinking thumb. I'm gonna make a list and see - maybe seeing it written down will make it easier to distinguish between real problem and depression problem.
