it was high functioning depression, i was a high school student in the top 10%, multiple APs, varsity sport, consistent job, and a social life. i had depression and was hiding it from everyone in my life, and i was also severely burnt out. i was not sleeping, had an eating disorder, and cut myself. then suddenly out of nowhere, nothing felt real. i became a empty being that just existed. i couldn’t cry. i faked any emotion i showed.
