Is it common for people with depression to constantly feel like they’re faking their hopelessness?   


I feel like my own mind is always trying to invalidate my feelings, and it makes me hurt really badly. I know my feelings are very real, and I’m gaining nothing by being this miserable, but I’m always tortured by my own mind telling me I’m just being overly dramatic. This is making me go insane, and I don’t know what to do about it.
