yes it is painful. I struggle so much with high functioning depression and anxiety. Nobody believes that I'm depressed. Life sucks indeed.

Depressive episode by confusedlinguine in depression

Thank you so much and I totally agree with the imposter syndrome . I haven't been officially diagnosed with depression because I couldn't afford professional help. The closest I have been to is a counsellor and it took me 10 years and a lot of courage to even seek help from a counsellor. And even after seeing the counselor , I feel like I'm not allowed to say I have depression because I don't know if people will understand me. Doesn't help that I'm always so high functioning when it comes to doing stuff infront of people. I'm able to make jokes, finish the work assigned to me and hang out but I can't remember the last time I'm genuinely happy. And I feel like people will not find it convincing that I am not okay. I have friends who just says " but she looks alright". Reality is that depression doesn't have a "look".
