hello,
i'm finding one of the hardest things at the moment is peoples preconceptions of people with depression...
in particular at work, so i've not told most people, but this is causing problems because they dont know why i am always off work or always tired, or find it the hardest thing in the world to get out of bed in the mornings...
part of me would like to tell people, but thats why i left my last job, cos everyone knew my dark secrets. but why should i tell them? surely i have the right to be miserable and hide away alone..
what do you guys do?

Good luck!
Why should I? I'm sick, and it's not contagious, so what's the problem!
Best of luck..
Love,

You can have friends at work and love them, but they don't have to know everything
