Do you tell people the truth when you're depressed? Do you hide it?

My pet duck, Mrs. Jones, is always willing to hear my problems, as long as she gets her treats.

People could care less to know when you're depressed.

i dont see the point in telling anybody anything..

No. If you tell people the truth then suddenly they're all experts and want to help. Fuck off.

I don't cry out for help when I am depressed
I shove that into a dark corner of my mind

and... then I go off by myself and meditate all the bad things and literally cry

I cry ... and try to just shake off the negatives


I know how bad depression can be - and we all deal with it differently
*it's nice to be able to talk to others for an added emotional support but sometimes some things seem too difficult to talk about tbh

In real life I hide it.
On here I'm pretty open lol...

Neither. No one ever asks and I'm not about to tell people I'm depressed because so-and-so, lol.

Why bother them?

I'm not an easily depressed person though.

Nobody wants to know. ..
so I don't say anything.

Hide it from some, tell others.

I don’t get over depression by sharing it with others.

I’ll internalize it. Think about it for a while. Get my 15 min of self pitty. An move on.

There’s one or two people I can talk to. No one else needs to know.

I'm learning to limit who I share with.

Yes, but I'm starting to make it a habit not to.

I just try to deal with it before it gets too bad.

I dislike telling others about my private life.

Doesn't happen very often anymore and on the odd occurance it often passes before I have time to tell anyone. Mostly cold weather depression, low end SAD. I know what's going on when it happens and can usually self compensate. My wife can tell so I don't really need to tell her specifically.

Only if I trust the person.

I hide it. I dont see the point in talking about it.

What's the point telling?

Only if I really want to go there. Sometimes, talking helps; other times, it just reminds you of the all that bad shit that haunts you.

I've learned to

I try tooo😕

No. I'm fine ok 🙄
