It's not shifting

I put my makeup on today and acted as though I was absolutely fine. I can laugh and joke and hide so well that I'd rather not be here

Hang in there.
Please.
I could have written your post word for word myself.
I know how hard it is. I really do. Right now more than ever.
Surround yourself with people,
Or just soft blankets and gentle things if that's more helpful.
It's hard to see the light when you're in the dark.
But people keep telling me it's there.
And I'm right here with you.
You're not alone.

I really needed to read this.
Thank you.
It's good to be reminded that you're not the only one and I hope so much that you are seeking comfort in the same things.
We are all in this together.

Thinking of you, @Emduffy .
How are you doing?

Depression is awful. Talking to anyone about it? Do you have times you don’t hide it?

its hard when you have to put on facade where everyone thinks your okay, they think because you do put on facade your fine when really at the depths of ones soul they are dying from the inside out... its good that you did those things!

I've been there a million times.

Im so sorry it pains me even more to know so many other people are hurting...why is it some have to face hell over and over while others don't we are all people. Yet some people can breeze through life compared to fighting everyday to just keep drowning...sorry if not very positive I'm def at my end.
