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 used to hide my depression (I was suicidal). The one that hurt from me doing so was me. So, I don't hide it any more. If people can't deal with my bipolar, and PTSD then that's their loss. I know who I am, and I'm ok with that.
