Summarize the following:
Even if you’re pretending to everyone else, have one person you can talk to about how you really feel. It might a trusted friend or family member, or maybe a counselor. Sometimes it is better to stop pretending you're happy and start letting out some of your sadness or anger to someone you trust. Letting your feelings stay bottled up will cause you to feel more unhappy and can harm your overall health in the long run. Maybe you can’t express your feelings while you’re at school or with other people, but make sure you find a way to acknowledge and express your emotions. Don’t hold your emotions in. Look inside yourself and try to name the feelings you feel. Then, find an outlet to help you express it.  Write in a journal, write song lyrics, listen to music, dance, paint, or draw. Whatever you do, it should help you work through your feelings and express them in a meaningful way. If you feel like you have to pretend to be happy in order to manage your sadness or you hate to be a “buzzkill,” it might be time to consider treatment for depression. Notice if you have symptoms of depression and talk them over with a professional. They can help you manage your symptoms, prevent future episodes, and provide a place for you to share your honest feelings. Find a therapist by contacting your insurance provider or a local mental health clinic. You can also get a recommendation from a family member or friend.
Talk to someone you trust about how you feel. Express how you feel in some way. See a therapist if you feel depressed.
