When I am so depressed , I have a hard time reaching out to get help and let others know how bad I am suffering.

@blissedNblessed Me too. :(

Another thing for me is not letting others know when I'm hurt because of their behaviour. I tend to want to say, "It's fine. I'm okay," even when it's not fine and I'm not okay.

@blissedNblessed You are right, Depression does have a nasty way of doing that to people. The fact that you reached out and shared in here is significant in this fight. Thank you.

Depression keeps others from knowing my voice, my story, my passion, and my heart. Depression makes me want to curl up and disappear.

@blueMap851 I hope that you find opportunity for your voice, story, passion and heart to come out and be heard. Even sharing this in here is letting it out a little bit. Thank you for that.

I think people may see I am smiling but they don't know I cry at night. They don't see how difficult it is for me just to go to work. They don't see suffering behind a normal face. They don't see lack of hope or lack of self esteem. All bad things that I feel are just hiden.

That I'm goofy and have a crazy personality that people only see in their own best friend or a drunk stranger whom they've just met in a bar while finishing their last shot in dawn.
