Not over it yet: If you still feel depressed when you think about your past, you're not yet over it. Healing from most anything is possible though. The process includes exploration, grieving, and gradual acceptance of what has happened along with its impact on your current life. Your "shrink" probably wants to to help you move beyond depression, while retaining the strengths you've developed as a person.

It's related: The mind is a great and funny thing. Even though you might think you are over your past, if you get depressed while thinking about it your mind is telling you to pay attention to it. Your shrink needs to know about it in order to find the best way to help you. It's great that you are seeing a shrink and thinking about this stuff at the age of 20. Keep seeking help. Best wishes.
