Behind a smile that you see lies a pain that no one can know

We see these smiling faces on people and we think they're really happy, we think they're really smiling. What I meant by all this is what depression also looks like. Depression is also in a smiling face, it is in those people we see every day and they seem very happy but inside the world seems to be falling apart.

I have also suffered from depression for years, I have been submerged in a deep sadness, I have tried to get up and go on with my life as if nothing had happened, when I go out into the street I always go with a smile, when I interact with others I am also with a smile, everything I do is with a smile, but when I'm alone, when I have time to think about myself, that's when depression hits, it's when the feeling of sadness and pain attacks me, it gets under my skin and so many times I wanted to find a reason, because I saw so many reasons to be happy but nevertheless I still felt strange.

This is what it looks like, some cases are worse than others, we are all different and experience it in different ways, so I wanted to share this with you.

Today I'm much better than before but sometimes that demon comes back, but I don't let it stay for long.

Spanish version

Vemos estas caras sonrientes en las personas y pensamos que realmente están felices, pensamos que de verdad están sonriendo. Lo que quería decir con todo esto es lo que la depresión también se ve así. La depresión también está en una cara sonriente, está en esas personas que vemos a diario y parecen muy felices pero por dentro el mundo parece que se les está cayendo a pedazos.

Yo también he sufrido de depresión por años, he estado sumergida en un tristeza profunda, he tratado de levantarme y seguir mi vida como si nada, cuando salgo a la calle siempre voy con una sonrisa, cuando me relaciono con los demás también estoy con una sonrisa, todo lo que hago es con una sonrisa, pero cuando estoy sola, cuando me da tiempo de pensar en mi, es cuando la depresión llega, es cuando el sentimiento de tristeza y dolor me ataca, se mete debajo de mi piel y muchas veces quería encontrar un motivo, porque veía tantas razones para estar feliz pero sin embargo aún me sentía extraña.

Así es como se ve, algunos casos son peores que otros, todos somos diferentes y lo vivimos de formas diferentes, así que quería compartir esto con ustedes.

Hoy en día estoy mucho mejor que antes pero a veces ese demonio vuelve, pero no permito que se quede por mucho rato.
