I really understand that. I work with people all day and try to go out and still feel alone and disconnected all the time.

It keeps others from seeing that I care immensely about everything even if it seems I don't, and that yes, I do have feelings and I do want to get better. But I'm also in pain and can hardly get out of bed most days because I know that the day will be worse than the one before, which was worse than the one before that.

My unrelenting depression keeps others from knowing...3 things rolled into one BIG loss..that I have a razor-sharp wit, a great sense of humor, & a genunely hilarious way of l👀king at human nature, my faults, mishaps, & problems. It seems like these things are the FIRST to go/disappear when I plunge into the deep, dark abyss of depression, & one of the LAST things to return/resurface when my depression lifts

It keeps people from knowing who I really am because I lost myself completely and it also keeps people from knowing the things I like because my depression keep me in bed and keeps me from doing things
