I have heard some coworkers criticise another coworker's wife because she has depression. They say a lot of horrible things about her... I definitely don't want them saying such a horrible things about me.

Unfortunatelly, I couldn't choose between tell them or not. If I could have chosen, I haven't say a word. My issues are mine and they are noone's business.

Once that I couldn't control this situation, I think if someone thinks bad about me for being depressed, **** them all.

Well, the persons I'm taking about use to criticise all the world. Not especially because depression...
That is the reason why I prefer smile and shut my mouth.

Two bad. Yeah, I know what you mean. I would bet this person is the one who is unable to see anything bad in him/herself.
The more you close your mouth in front of this person and the further you are, the better.

I have just noticed you are from Spain.
Welcome to the forum (((((lizzy))))!

Gracias Do you ever feel like a fraud?

Thank you very much.

I can't understand this kind of person. But I have to work with her so knowing how she acts, I don't want her to tell everyone that I am mad or something like that.
And, talking about from where I am, have a therapist or be on treatment or on meds it isn't well seen. When you talk about it or tell you have been diagnosed with anxiety suddenly you are seen as a martian or something like that. It's so weird because most of times you meet this people at the pdoc looking for something to sleep...
Most of my friends and family have been on meds to sleep at least once. But when I talk about my anxiety I am the weird.

The best is to talk the less as possible about your issues. I couldn't choose. I'm a marked woman now. But, you know what? The most part of the time, I don't care. With 43 years old, you learn that you have not time to worry about stupidiness or other people's bloody-mindeness.

As you say, not to talk is the best. I'm 41 and I would like to think as you about what another people think. But one of my biggest issues is how another people's thought hurts me. Lot of time working on it but no results. That's the reason why I prefer not to show my real me and not to talk about my issues.
And hide that is what sometimes I feel like a fake or a fraud.
You know, acting most of the times, laugh when I am crying inside.

I feel that way all the time. It's like I don't even know if the "fake" persona I show is the real me, or if it's just what I do to get through each day. At this point, it's hard to tell where my AvPD ends and I begin. But maybe that's false. Maybe the AvPD IS who I am. I'm not sure, but I completely understand where you're coming from.

I totally feel like a fraud. I have got every job I ever applied for(and there were many) because I can come across as self assured, funny etc. However, there were many times that I took jobs that were way too stressful for me and I avoided the technical stuff when I could and if not just bluffed my way through. I'm a fraud in every area of my life. Nobody knows me at all, even close friends and while there was a time when I would have wished that someone could see inside my head and what was really going on, of course it never happened. I'm so ashamed of who I am that I will be a fraud for the rest of my days. It's a self preserving, survival mode and thankfully there have been many times where I've pulled it off.
