Hi there!
I'm new around here too...it's good to see another new name.
You're certainly not alone in feeling like if you can "fake it" in public then "nothing is wrong". I'm that way too....I recently confided to a group of friends that I've been in therapy for the last two years struggling with severe depression and anxiety and they were shocked.
It can be really hard to talk about how bad you're feeling (especially if you've never had an opportunity to in the past) but I agree with Shortelise that talking really can help set free the stuff inside. And Tamar has a ton of good advice in her post both about medication and seeking out help from your school.
You do sound depressed and you deserve to start to feel better....Keep posting and let us know how you're doing.
Annke....waving an enthusastic hello
