I wonder why is this still happening
Why do we hide the fact that we are depressed ? If it is an illness that affects every aspect of our lives why is it considered taboo to acknowledge it in public ?

Its not taboo, its just that some of us deliberately choose to find other things to define us.
I know within myself, there's only so much time a day i try allow myself to dwell on negative stuff .
Beware your thoughts - they become your words .
Beware your words - they become your actions
Beware your actions - thru become your habits
Beware your habits - they become your character
Beware your character - it becomes your destiny.

@Really do you mean as in what i just posted or as in making them?
I have, in the last few years, been trying to curb what i spontaneously think and say.
And i truly think there is something to it.
Its not just philosophy, it has a root truth in psychology as well.
I see evidence of it in coworkers older than me: habits of behavior and thinking they cant even see they have.
The blamers
The complainers
The avoiders
The bullies
The wall flowers etc .
Traits we ingrain deeper every time we fall back on them 🤷
It worries me. I wonder what all of mine are .
