nah its not your age at all people don't see Depression as a illness they think like OH just get over it! its not that easy better said than done. When the world realizes that depression is a true illness then they will start doing something.

well now we have all the ears we need hun.

I feel that way with my family they tell me suk it up

Unfortunately i think the stigma behind depression and mental illness is still a problem which doesn't help such as myself and others. I want to tell my employer and colleagues i have depression but feel i would be judged so just put my mask on and carry on pretending i'm fine. I hope one day we can all be open and not be judged.

Depression is something that other people can't see. If you have a broken leg or something, people can see it. They don't understand what they do see.
