text: how can i hide depression? i'm very depressed & i don't know what to do. my friends think something is going on but i keep telling them tht everything is okay. how can i keep it from them? help!!!!! first of all you shouldn't hide depression. my grandfather suffered from depression horribly and ended up taking his life. you need to talk to someone. depression will not go away on its own. it may get better sometimes but it will never go away. they have medications to treat depression as well as lifestyle changes that can work too. please talk to someone soon!
