I only fake it when it comes to getting a job etc. I used to all the time, thinking it wasn't fair to make others uncomfortable. but now i generally don't see people that much and if i do i don't mind them thinking i look crappy because i've already told them i've been feeling crappy. the worst is faking it for so long and finally being told it's not your fault, you're ill, you can let go...then seeing people throw around the term 'depression' like it's nothing and think they know what it was like for you all that time...
