I used to be able to hide my sadness from family and friends but over the years as things have progressed I have lost my mask. I just got out of IP on Monday where I'd been for depression/suicidal thoughts and psychosis. I saw my grandparents earlier in the day before my admission. My mawmaw told my aunt later she knew I was sick and not ok. I thought I was doing well hiding it.
Friends can tell me after an episode they saw it coming. I've lost my mask.

I think after a while it just gets too tiring to hide it. I know I don't hide it as well as I used to either.

As I get older it's tougher to hide.

Yep, it's definitely harder to hide it the older I get. Like someone else said, it's just too tiring.

I'm the exact same way. I think it's because the depression is more severe now so I can't hide it nearly as well. Thankfully I haven't been severely depressed for a significant amount of time for almost a year.

What mask? I wear my emotions on my sleeve and people can always tell what I'm thinking/feeling by the expression on my face. I've never been good at hiding either my highs or lows.

I've never had a mask. It's always obvious whatever mood I'm in.
