5 THINGS PEOPLE WITH DEPRESSION SECRETLY DO
ALONE
2
THEY MIGHT CONSCIOUSLY TRY TO SEEM ACCEPTABLE,
PERHAPS EVEN EXCESSIVELY UPBEAT AND HAPPY
The notion that all people with depression share
a single depressing personality is untrue.
Depression is not just a bad mood. People having
depression have figured out how to change their
outward appearance. Some might even be the most
outwardly happy people you know. Diverse
personalities exist. People who are depressed try
to maintain their excellent and outward
personality features despite their inner
struggles. Nobody wants to make others feel bad,
even if it means hiding their true feelings.

THEY MIGHT STRUGGLE WITH BEING ABANDONED
Anyone who has dealt with depression knows how
difficult it can be. The people who are closest
to them may also feel the burden. When you let
someone in close enough to see your struggles,
they may choose to ignore you. Even though its
challenging to hold them responsible for leaving,
those who are depressed experience a severe
sense of abandonment. There is a need for
secrecy because people fear the decline of the
people they love. The realization that your ugly
self is too ugly for someone you love to handle
is the most disheartening thing you can
experience.

THEY MIGHT HAVE STRANGE EATING AND SLEEPING
PATTERNS
This issue may appear to be a minor indication or
factor, but it has a severe impact. Sometimes
only the little signs of depression can be seen
covertly in people who live with it. Both minor
and much sleep are prime examples. Eating
excessively or insufficiently has the same
consequences. Nutrition and sleep are two
essential components of health. The human mind
can try to control these two elements as well.
When depressed, which breeds a crushing lack of
control, ones only option may be to maintain at
least some of ones life. Sleep may be the only
escape, or it may be next to impossible,
likewise with eating.

THEY MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON
SUBSTANCES
  • A person who can manage their depression is also
    aware of the importance of watching what they
    eat. They are aware that alcohol is a depressant
    and that consuming it frequently can lead to a
    low mood that they may not be as prepared to
    handle as the average person. They are aware that
    sugar and caffeine can lift their spirits. They
    are aware of how various drugs work. They are
    aware of what wont mix. They are aware of all of
    this because it is much more their
    responsibility than it may be for others to
    change their state of mind.

THEY COULD DISPLAY A HIGHLY COMPLEX
UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE AND DEATH
Not every depressed person has experienced
suicidal thoughts. However, depression
frequently prompts a distinct and sophisticated
way of thinking about life in general. Being
forced to confront ones mortality often occurs
in times of need. It happens when you are
frantically looking for solutions to all lifes
problems. These thoughts may occur more
frequently when one is constantly dragged in and
out of terrible mindsets.
