People don't fake depression, they fake being okay. Remember that and be kind.
@wainjoe there’s always a point in my therapy sessions when I feel I’m faking it, because my life as is shouldn’t see me this depressed. But that’s all part of the same feelings of inadequacy and dishonesty that drove me to therapy I suppose. Pretty bad that my ongoing belief I am wasting everyone’s time extends even to my therapist, eh….
So yeah, even those with depression can feel we are faking it, so everyone please don’t reinforce such thoughts by accusing someone of that.
