How Depression Makes Us Fake It—and Why It’s Killing Men

How Depression Makes Us Fake It—and Why It’s Killing Men

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness.

Sometimes it’s a smile that hides a war raging inside. It’s the show we put on for the world—pretending everything’s fine—while our self-talk tears us apart.

In this powerful talk, we expose the hidden mask of depression:
How men fake it—at work, at home, everywhere—and why it’s so damn exhausting.
Why depression is the most deceptive enemy—making you look okay even when you’re falling apart.
The secret toll of masking—and how it’s slowly killing too many men.
✅ Real strategies to unmask, heal, and support each other—because it’s okay not to be okay.

If you’ve ever faked a smile while dying inside, you’re not alone.

💪 Let’s break the mask. Let’s talk. Let’s stand together.

In some of my worst periods of depression, for an hour or two, I could put on a shining face. Oh, I did it for years. I mean, at a time, that's what I'm saying, like, yeah, for years at a time, but that's what makes depression so tiring. Yeah. Yeah. We talk about autistics masking, depressives mask as well. You put on a whole face and a whole show. Meanwhile, your self-talk is tearing you down.
