I learned the hard way to not show my depression in public with friends. Lost a LOT of friends that way. I'm ashamed to even have anxiety, bipolar depression. So... I'm going to hide it from now on. No exceptions.

I don't even know if I have depression. I tend to have apathy and hopelessness regarding my own life and people have always perceived that as depression. I can't hide that though. It's too difficult to pretend. And that means that all my friendships are short lived. It's better that way though. Pretending to be something you're not for the sake of a friend is torture in my opinion.
