The concealed nature of high functioning depression makes it difficult for a person to get help.
Such people find themselves always at the edge, exhausted from trying to keep it together and willing to let go and fall into the dark hole.
But they keep pushing through it despite the pain. Every day they take a lot of time to collect the strength for facing the day.
Their anxiety and depression doesn't go away simply by "taking deep breaths". The suffocation doesn't get dissolved just by oxygen.
These people find it difficult to repeat even routine things which they did yesterday.
They are not always sad, but a kind of contentment replaces it for a while, till they get exhausted and stressed again.
The emotional exhaustion and wave of depression comes suddenly without a trigger amid a generally good day.
Such people worry and get anxious too much.
Depression affects their sleep pattern and too much anxiety makes it difficult for them to relax and sleep.
