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.

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

    I just stab a homeless person to death.

    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?
