Help How do I hide signs of depression?

[WaffleMan]

My parents both work in the mental health field which means they work with people who depressed suicidal and all. I dont want them to pick up any signs of me being depressed because they immediately put into some mental health group or something so does anyone know ways of hiding that?

Just smile, be excited and acknowledge people

Keep things brief, try to act like you are busy.

Most people don't give a shit and if you fob them off quick, they won't spot a thing.

BOTH of your parents...
That is a cruel twist of fate...

They will 100% pick it up if you're in your room all day or not eating... ignoring hygiene... you know the simple things.

Of course they would put you into a group which is brutal. I'm surprised they wouldn't just talk to you 1on1 or advise meds.

Either way my facade for years was working...partying....gym....work...party....
Hey everything good how are you ?
O yah .... everything's gucci ...
Classic.

Hygiene like what ?? Don't say details.. they havnt said anything to you ??? I guess that's...good ? In a way... but I know when at one time I didn't leave my house for months ...no hair cut ...no dentist etc when I had people in my life before they would be like wtf you doing let's go ... and they weren't even docs lol

Ah ok keeping room clean is one thing.
That's nothing.

From super bad experiences take care
of the teeth.
it doesn't happen... like 1 year... 6months... 2 years.. after awhile.
tooth decay or anything it fucking hurts so much or nerve damage ... the worst pain ever just a heads up.... from experience

just act normal

Lul

Be careful about your facial expressions and body language. I believe vague sentences(I mean like not being able to say what you mean in the first try) could also be seen as a sign.

what does normal even look like everyone has a different opinion on normal lol

No such thing in this current world.
Normal is something perceived like you said on a personal basis.
Also from society pressures, false ideology and Comparison/judgment.

I hate how society strives for normal when nothing can even be normal

just think of it as is you're playing a part. The character that you're playing is a fictionalized version of yourself.
This version is a well adjusted, generally happy, does not have emotional problems, and can talk and laugh with everyone else.

thats what I do whenever I'm in a situation (i.e. school or work) where I have to come into contact with people. Once I step out, I immediately get into character and I put a happy face.
Once I'm by myself again, I step out of character and go back to being myself.
