Do you hide it when you're depressed?

Do you hide your true feelings behind a smile or show it somehow? Be it your choice of clothes, music, or simply saying it, I'm curious about how others handle themselves in the midst of depression.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • Nope, I go real quiet, then I sometimes explode with rage and cause chaos for like ten seconds, then I feel good.

  • The people in my life rarely know if I'm depressed. People have been telling me lately that I seem so happy. I guess I'm a good liar.

  • I hide behind a smile. I have the people in my life so fooled, they think I'm "always happy" and "goofy." They have no idea.

  • Shit piled up on me because I never let anyone know what was wrong. Glad to finally be medicated!

  • I hide it. Not fair for everybody else if I show it all the time, better to let them stay happy/focus on their own issues.

  • I can hide it through laughter and a smile. But when I'm alone with friends I tell them how I feel.

  • I try. However, I never seem to be able to hide it particularly well, even if I think that I am. I don't know what it is about me. Is it a look in my eyes? An overall aura that I emit?
