What is something Depression keeps others from knowing about you?

It keeps others from knowing what my true feelings are behind what I show to the public

It keeps others from knowing the person I truly am and not the facade that they all see.

Depression keeps me from doing things that would help me to live a healthier life style. For example when I'm depressed I completely lose my appetite so I don't eat, I usually exercise but I lose all motivation to exercise. To put it simply when I'm depressed I just don't want to do anything but wallow in my own sadness.

I wake up on a day not too bright, the air not too cold, and think, "I will be okay. I will be free." Until depression walks with tired eyes and a sad smile and whispers, "Stay with me."

I wake up....

I wake up....

I wake up....

.....That is depression. It buries your hope behind your darkest thoughts so that others won't understand.

Depression and anxiety keeps me from letting people in. I cannot ever fully open up, and that leads to horrible communicating, which leads to inevitable break ups. I've ruined a lot of relationships because I'm afraid.

I'm not good at relating without using humor, even if it's inappropriate... I just joke, or make sarcastic remarks

It keeps them from knowing the real me. I hide behind a mask all the time. People run from me now what would they think if they really knew?

Depression hides the fact that I am depressed. I can

It keeps people from seeing who I really am. On the outside, all people see is a sad girl that listens to a lot of music. In reality, I love to laugh and have fun with my family and friends, but depression ruins that for me and a lot of people never see my true personality.

It makes me feel not interested with my work.. I used to love my work and good at it.. now i just stare at the laptop.. 😢 i dont know how to start back
