It's so easy for me to pretend to be something else, since I don't like who I really am.

We (people who are depressed) have to live in a supposedly non-depressed world. It’s all a game really, everybody pretends that they’re having a great time and bouncing through life.
Please don’t feel that you have to pretend to be someone else but also remember that a lot of your friends might not want to listen, and it doesn’t make them bad, it just makes them less of a friend than someone who is willing to open their ears and their heart to you.
Forget about the depression. Recognize it, acknowledge it and move on. Don’t be afraid to be happy.
