yes, I would say your depression is largly because of this
...heres some info on what VTS is and how it occurs
Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs when one of a set of twin fetuses apparently disappears from the womb during pregnancy, usually resulting in a normal singleton pregnancy.
What really happens?
One of the fetuses in a twin pregnancy spontaneously aborts, usually during the first trimester; the fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin, the placenta, or the mother, thus giving the appearance that the twin "vanished."



Depression assosiated with loss of twin brother?
I want some advice and answers please! Here is my story:
I was recently diagnosed with depression. I see a therapist and everything. I am a 15 year old girl who aside from this leads a completely normal life. I am an only child and I have always...
been very lonely. Recently, my mother opened up to me about her suspision that she was originally pregnant with twins, but lost one, who she strongly believes was a boy, early on because she bled for a while but went to the doctor and he suggested vanishing twin syndrome, which is when 1 twin I flushed out early in pregnancy.. As a small child, I constantly bought boy toys I didnt want and made up pretend brothers to teachers and friends. My parents thought this was odd as generally they suspected a little girl would think of a sister. I would claim that there was still a baby in my mothers stomach that hadnt come out yet and I have always had a pit of loneliness inside of me as though I had lost someone that I never knew.
Could my depression be related to the loss of my twin at a young age? And what exactly is vanishing twin syndrome? And what could we do to pay a tribute to my lost brother?
