High-functioning depression: Do people assume you’re okay because you keep going?

Hi everyone,

Some people can keep working, smiling, and “functioning” even while struggling deeply with depression. It’s hard when people assume you're fine just because you’re getting things done.

• Do you ever feel unseen because your depression is invisible?
• What helps you cope when no one realizes how hard things feel inside?
• How do you ask for help when you’re "high-functioning" on the outside?
