who /hidedepression/ here? I've finally come to accept I'm going to suffer 100% of my waking hours. but how do you hide depression from the norms? I know noone is hated more than a depressed male. are there any jobs where no one cares you're depresed? I kinf of already quit one job becuse of it (I was deluded and thought only that job would cause me problems because of it). how do you hide depression in uni (know no one there, I think my (probably) sad looking face repelles them. but it will fuck me if there's a group project. like I might actually fail my degree because of it)
any tips are welcome
Just take your meds and don't tell anybody.

not taking meds, not "diagnosed"

1. obviously depression is the right way of looking at this god forsaken world. anyone who is not depressed is completely deluded. I would know, I was like that too when I was younger
2. one you take "meds" you're branded a psycho for the rest of your short remaining natural life

you don't just get undepressed without spending years kicking up drama and whining about it.
t. formerly depressed
I used to be super depressed about every petty problem, but then i just thought to myself how much of a bitch i was being, and that was the end of that.
Remember that any problem you have is tenporary, or atleast you will eventually get over it

except most depressed people keep it quite and often it only comes out after suicide, which disproves your theory

>Customer service in a call center
you're completely wrong, as that's the job I had to quit.

how do you hide it? if someone talks to me I don't act depressed but I think like when just sitting my general attitude is depressed and I'm not able to change that. if I try to force it I become more depressed for some reason

My resting face used to be very depressed too, I sort of practiced smiling more, and made it a sort of habit to smile a natural looking amount.
It's a big factor of why people think I'm content with life.
>>29145054
how about communication? like norms have this eagerness to talk to each other whenever possible and I naturally don't. trying to force it always feels like people know that I'm faking it because they've already seen me being depressed. also it's exhausting to put up an act for a long time and I always end up reverting to my natural behaviour

Don't tell me that my comment was too low on content.

garbage post. OP is asking for advice, not talking about killing himself or cutting his wrists

Why is it that "depressed" people are always so vocal about their depression?
I never talk with people about it, and if they try to call me out I just flatout deny it.
Are those people really depressed or are they seeking for attention?
Is anyone afraid here that death isn't end,and that we are born again and again to suffer
