What is something Depression keeps others from knowing about you?
Depression can be good at masking who you really are as a person. It can keep others away and selfishly keep you all to itself. What is something that Depression keeps others from knowing or seeing about you?
My depression (which is on and off) keeps people from knowing that I'm not exactly proud of my ethnicity even though many people think I should be. I prefer not to share what it is.
People think I am MUCH stronger than I really am.
@Stromaster I've gotten that too. I'm pretty good at trying to keep my symptoms to myself so I don't burden others with my depression or hurt those around me, but as a result, I often hear from mental health professionals that I reach out to for help, "You'll be fine. You're so strong already! You're doing great!" And on the inside, I'm not doing great, and I haven't showered in weeks, and I'm falling apart.
It's hard when even professionals don't take your calls for help seriously.
how much being alive and part of this cosmos, breathing and existing at this very moment used to fascinate me and make my heart flutter
That i like to explore the good and bad sides of everything. When I say that people look at me like I'm wayward... Even my so called friends.
I always say everything happens for a reason. As much as everything I've seen and happen in my life as bad as it seemed, I'm glad for it as it made me who I am today and see life as the way I do.

What is the reason for most letdowns?
Also why do bad things happen to good folks despite their illness or struggles?
That really important compassionate 😎
My love for life. Almost every aspect of my pwrsonality that I miss. My fun crazy side died and has been long gone. I miss me.
that fake mask in public once your alone its a different story
I miss feeling. I miss being happy and even being sad.
There's been several things that depression symptoms can cause. Either feeling helpless or hopeless, theres been therapy sessions i once took that were left inconclusive, maybe things have been more vulnerable since then. I've always tried to cope however possible, but it can get really difficult.
