Those days you don't want to talk and just want to be by yourself, when the world looks grey but it is okay when you feel a bit down. Today is one for me and for some reason everyone around me think they need to "make it better".
Do I really look that sad, when I just want to be alone.  All is fine I just want to be alone! How do I tell them "All is fine I just want to be alone" with out them feeling guilty or trying to cheer me up?

((Lostime)) - I'm not sure if you're talking about friends or family. I think honesty is the best way to do it, by saying something like..."so nice of you to be concerned but I'm really okay and you don't need to worry at all...I just need some alone time". If the family member or friend is the rescuer type which often happens, if they already know you have depession issues - they might think it's their job to help or fix you lol. In this case you can let them know nicely, they can relax and if you need help, you'll let them know.
I find couples often have this problem, where one will want to vent about their bad day to the other - so the person listening is left wondering ...do I have to help them or should I just listen and nod my head in empathy.

"I just need a little down time right now, but I'll let you know if I'm stuck"

I was a only child and my family, my adoption parents live halve way around the world from me and we do not really talk because of some things that have happened in the past. Most of my friends know this and have adopted me as a family member, so they are my family but it is still hard to sometimes look on them as family and to really be close. Some days it is just hard to...........
"Is it really worth talking about things they can't change" letting them have a bad day "guilt tripping them" for they can't help.
