I suck at it. When I'm depressed, I look frumpy and people ask me if I'm sick or have the flu or something. There is no happy face that I can put on, and I enter such an emotional dearth that nothing can make me laugh

I've noticed with myself and also with my sister that we can be funny and witty as long as there is an audience, even when depressed. I think it can make the depression worse because I can only allow it when I'm alone.
The other downside is that I tend to make jokes about other situations and people think I'm not taking them seriously, when I'm just using humor as a shield from pain..
