If both of your parents were bipolar, it is likely that you did not have the best childhood. This could result in a lower self esteem, which may be one of the reasons for your issues with rejection. Have you ever addressed or thought about addressing this in therapy. Group psychodynamic therapy would most likely be best suited for addressing this issue. Also, any issues in childhood could have made whatever predisposition you have towards depression much much worse. I'm not saying that addressing these issues will solve anything, I'm just saying I may not hurt to consider looking into addressing them. These things just don't go away. They linger inside of us for the rest of our lives if not addressed in some way.
Sorry, maybe I should have just kept my thoughts to myself. I hope you are not offended.
