Am I fake?

I keep questioning is I’m just making up depression in my head or if I’m not really depressed. Because some times I feel ok for a day or a few hours and somehow I can still seem happy at work. But then I get home and I usually don’t feel ok at all. But if I’m faking it idk why I can’t just stop and feel better. Help.

I completely understand. I will have moments of happiness and feel great. Spurts of energy at work that make me feel amazing and then I get home and it feels like a dark cloud is hanging over my head. I don’t believe your alone and you can’t fake genuine feelings🥺

This happens a lot to me too. I keep wondering if im actually feeling “okay” or if im just inventing this. Sometimes it helps me to remember that when i am, in fact, okay, i never wonder if i am. So that helps. Still it has been years and i still question myself

I feel better when other people are around and get depressed at home alone

@thoughtfulPine3302 Maybe, it's your inner self telling you, that it's not what you really want to do in your life. It could be the job youre in that is creating this feeling inside of you.

Nah dude you're not fake. That happens when ur depressed. I doubt my depression all the time too even though I struggle with it. It gets better for a few hours for me too sometimes and then it gets worse again, and idk why you feel/ seem better at work but I think it could be escapism or something.
