Its hard to express emotion, but when things go wrong it does help to talk about them. I can talk about them, with a straight normal face and all. But that doesnt mean that I dont break down every day.

It prevents people from knowing how i really feel when they say a mean joke without mean intentions and prevents me from showing emotions that are not happy

i just broke down in blood sweat and tears because there is no magic in life and every single lonely day is totally predictable. pretty much undifferentiated monotony trudging and hobbling along on empty and without any purpose.

I just felt so empty, hollow. Nothing brought light or joy into my life. I couldn't do anything, I don't have tinge energy to get up in the morning. Never felt anything so strong, so draining in my life.

I would say that depression holds back how I am when I'm in a relaxed and calm environment. It's always in painful hindsight when I come to realise how I've been in the past, with what I didn't act or do to help someome that's close to me
