Only those I have told know I am depressed. I have put my mask on every day for more than twenty years. Everyone thinks I am always happy and cheerful. All my job evaluations mention how I make everyone happy, tell jokes, and am so cheerful every day. They have no clue to my inner turmoil. I'm a guy, and guys aren't supposed to show their true emotions---it isn't manly. When I go home, relax, and take my mask off, nearly every day I will cry from the exhaustion for 15 minutes or more.
