So true. You just get to the point where you can't pretend anymore. To be honest though, I could never tell my parents about this, they would never understand. They're so old-style and don't believe in stuff like depression or psychological problems. I see it when they watch movies and talk to their friends and stuff and I listen to the way they perceive things. I just know that I will get nowhere with them. The same holds for any of my friends and my study leader. They try to be proactive and over-analytical and don't just want to listen, so I can explain. That's why I would never ask them. I tried with my study leader and she missed the point completely. That's why I went to a therapist. However, your teacher sounds like the right person. I wish I had someone like that.

But, please don't hide your feelings. I did my entire life and it ruined my whole life to the point where I now have major depressive disorder (MDD). Once you get in this place you can't get out because your mind hides the solution from you, and you just see no way out. Once at this point you then need major interventive or medicinal help which I think I might need.
