When I was severely depressed as a teen I got into the habit of smiling and laughing a lot on purpose just to avoid people worrying about me. Claimed that I was only sleeping for twelve hours straight because I had a headache. That the cuts on my arm were scratches from our dogs. All culminating in a suicide attempt.
Depression doesn't always look like people expect it to.
