I Hide My Depression From Everyone Who Knows Me

I feel so trapped all the time and not a single soul has any idea. Honestly, sometimes all I wish is that I had a way I could express everything I feel and actually feel like a weight is lifted off my chest after I let it all out! But for some reason, no matter what I do I fell like I can never actually express how I feel so I kind of just hit a spot where I'm like what is the point of trying to express it if I can never accurately get it out anyways? So frustrating!

It's good that you're expressing yourself here. That's what I do... I'm anonymous here, so I feel like I'm more honest about who I am when I need to talk about something. Sorry that you're feeling trapped... hopefully writing about it here will help a little.🌷

You're not alone. So many people seem to suffer from depression, me included, and most people don't seem to really understand it unless they have suffered themselves. You will probably find this site to be a good way to start sharing your experiences with depression.

I hope you seek out therapy if this is an ongoing thing. Someone who does cognitive behaviour therapy.

Life beyond depression is great.
