It's crazy because I always wondered, for people with depression, how could it hurt to smile? or hurt to be happy? Now I know what it feels like. I'm still debating on telling my parents about how I feel and how I have been feeling for a long time. I have this reoccurring thought that if I tell them that they will think i'm using it as an excuse to get out of work and going to school and socializing. Eh sorry for the irrelevance I need to get that off of my chest. Hugs to everyone for sharing and staying strong
