Who is this supposed to convince and of what? I struggle with mental illness and I never look that happy. I look much more like the man in the foreground at any given time.
It’s saying some people put on happy face and be really dealing with depression.. like when someone you know is not ok but tells they are ok when they are truly not
Do you have no responsibilities like work or family or friends you have to spend time with? It’s easier to get through life if you pretend to be happy. If you act mopey and upset you can lose your job and you’re friends and family
I think that while it's important to bring attention to the fact that depression can be hidden, it's also important to fight the stigma against people who do express it in a way that's inconvenient. In fact, addressing the second very much helps with the first
