How would you react if I told you I've been lying about feeling less depressed?
Do you have a reason for lying about being less depressed?
I was just asking, no need to react like that.
It's not healthy to lie about mental illnesses. Depression is really serious, and if you lie about it you'll probably feel even worse. I can understand not wanting to worry people with your suffering, but it's going to take a toll on you if you're dishonest.
What is depression other than a chemical imbalance in the brain and you spend too much time online.
You're still misleading people about your condition, which could be hurtful to them, as well as to yourself. Don't be afraid to open up about your feelings to the people who care about you.
