I Fake Smile To Hide My Sadness

Im basically in the point of my depression that I no longer feel anything and im just kinda on auto pilot. i laugh and smile and act normal but inside i'm just so far gone i'm not sure how to bring myself out of this. I wish I could cry but my body won't allow me to. I feel so trapped. But its Okay I'll make it. It just sucks for the time being.

its not like im trying to not feel. Its more like my brain wont let me feel things.
@Thatonekid236 Depression sucks. but it's usually a chemical imbalance- You should see a doctor.

It's not the same thing as being sad. it's like the inability to derive pleasure from things you normally enjoy.

You're probably experiencing serotonin issues.

I know it's hard to get out of bed when you're depressed but if you make the effort you'll probably feel better.

@Thatonekid236 Sunshine in the morning can be helpful for serotonin.

You can watch free YouTube videos with a Gmail account. Search for depression subliminals. You can often read the suggestions you will only hear on a subconscious level. I listen to multiple therapies on there with music to help you sleep. It's a powerful way to effortlessly influence your state of mind.

You might need a therapist. You haven't disclosed what put you in this condition, but you can get help.

You can always talk to me if you ever need somebody to talk to. I know how you feel and I'm here for you.

Can’t honestly say I’ve ever been there before, but I sympathize. Hope you feel better soon.
You might eventually learn to turn off your emotions like I learned to.

I can relate. I feel better when I am outside.

Numbness becomes a distorted dark sanctuary.
I guess I'm lucky because so many people I know seem to fight themselves to prevent themselves from crying and in spite of all the peer pressure and stigma against boys crying I don't give a fuck and still can.
You may need, to escape, to change your life. seek what you love. what interests you.
Play, explore. find new experiences..

You can cry. Sit down in a corner and don't leave until you cry.
