Totally agree, laur88. I feel compelled to fake it, especially when depressed, having fear of someone saying or asking something (and knowing I could never explain it to them anyway), and already feeling very self conscious, so.... fake it as well as I can manage. The part of the expression "fake it till you make it" that I don't get is "make it". I've managed it with some stuff, but not in terms of mood (unless you count pulling it off). It's tiring and I can only keep up the fake it part so long then need time off to recover.
