WAYS DEPRESSION DISGUISES ITSELF IN HIGH-FUNCTIONING WOMEN:
1️⃣ She smiles and makes jokes, but her spirit feels numb.
2️⃣ She gets everything done… but she feels nothing while doing it.
3️⃣ She checks on everyone else, but nobody checks deep enough on her.
4️⃣ She looks “put together,” but her mind is falling apart every night.
5️⃣ She stays busy so she doesn’t have to sit alone with her thoughts.
6️⃣ She shows up for work, for kids, for marriage, for life — but hasn’t shown up for herself in weeks.
7️⃣ She’s exhausted, but keeps pushing because resting feels like failure.
8️⃣ She carries herself well, so people assume she’s okay… even when she’s drowning inside.
9️⃣ She avoids talking about her feelings because she doesn’t want to “ruin the mood.”
She prays for strength quietly, because she doesn’t have the words to explain the heaviness.
