Depression - Teen Support Group

yes i hide it really well. i told my one friend and he's like "u have depreesion? well they do misdignose pppl all the time y not u too?"

yea, i hide it. no one can guess, i've told one person and they were so surprised, she said she'd never guess

Yeah I hide it...have this happy exterior, it's like playing a part in a play. My family knows, and I gotta be open with them (runs in the family). My anxiety is known to most of my teachers now (told them today), but I have a difficult time telling people that I'm sad...it's hard to stop playing the part in the play of life, even if you're truly hidden within that character.

yea i hide it constantly..see i drop weight big time when im depressed..and one time i was depressed bad for like 6 or 7 months, i just felt ugh everyday, like the world had forgotten me, no one cared, i was arguing with parents and friends a lot, then stress from school, and it all just crashed and i fell into a depression..i lost bout 40 pounds and no one really noticed..which is exactly what i wanted..

All the time, i always lie about how i'm feeling, i guess it's because i'm ashamed or i don't want to be a burden to people or i don't want it to change the relationship i have with that person, but i don't like doing it, it makes me feel like i'm lying to everyone about who i am.

I used To bottle everything up.
How i felt. put brave faces on.
It just didnt work.
I ended up cracking .
Better To Be out than in.

I can hide it. Sometimes it is hard, but I always end up hiding it enough that people don't wonder or at least not too much. Thankfully I have been hiding it long enough that it has become almost second nature.

i try and hide it most of the time.. i can hide it pretty well until i'm on the bus going home from skol.. i do it tho cuz i'm afriad that my friends will not want me around and cuz i dont like to worry ppl.. it just makes me more sad when i do.

i definetly try to hide it from my parents. like if it's the middle of the day and im laying in bed, i just tell them i'm tired...but really i just feel like dying
