She's very brave and doing a brilliant thing to break the stigma x
Interesting as I have a work collegue who I am close to who actually said "You cant be depressed, you're the happiest person I know. What does that say about the rest of us?"
This is soooo true! Great article! My friend, who is psychologist, often says: but you seem happy and not depressed at all. Yeah right girl haha
It's sad that a psychologist says that when they should know better - that it's a mask....
I agree with Suzi. Is this the same psychologist who diagnosed you with anxiety and depression?
No, she is just my friend studying psychology in college.
Then I hope that she is able to learn how to talk to someone with mental illness and learns that people often put on a mask....
The same happened to me. After my mom's death many think I look better, but in the matter of mental health - there is a struggle inside of me.
No one would think I have depression or anxiety or ptsd as I hide it, very few get to see exactly how am feeling, a lot of people put a front on to hide it x
