I wonder if someday I’ll get the courage to say I have depression instead of hiding it. I guess I’m just ashamed of it and afraid of the judgement I’ll get, Â has anybody here been open?. It feels like leading a double life almost by hiding this part of myself; faking smiles and all

I’m kind of in the same situation. Nobody knows.. except my boyfriend but telling him hasn’t made me feel any better. I still feel like I’m pretending to be happy around everyone I’m around. it really sucks..I can’t help feeling alone.
My ex-girlfriend was open about it to people she trusted. Just be truthful and let people try to be supportive. It’ll be difficult because many people say they feel forced to get better by those that know. First tell family, or a significant other. Good luck on your journey to recovery.

Yeah I know how you feel, the pressure to act happy for fear of being outcast. For me I feel this from my mother who is religious not that has anything to do with it but I just feel so small when she says you don’t pray, I guess we all want to be understood
Thank you for the advice, unfortunately I don’t have anybody like that but if I do I’ll keep a good relationship
