"I smile, laugh and look very cheerful on the outside but inside of me I am a very sad person, I was diagnosed with...depression and I did attempt suicide a few times."

Wow, Qwerty, I feel as though I could have written this myself. I've not been told I have an adjustment disorder however.

I briefly saw a psychologist, and decided I didn't care for him, but he did suggest that I have probably learned to hide my depression and suicidal thoughts since I've had these feelings all my life, well over 30 years now.

When I have gone to the psych ward, the other patients don't think anything is wrong with me, either.

I don't want to scare my friends and family, so I don't share with them how badly I feel. I also don't like going to the psych ward, so I've learned to hide myself.
