> > Dinah - I probably do "present" okay most of the time. I've noticed that while i can look ok and engage in very typical interactions with people, I can't translate that into the focus and actions of a non-depressed person. So I go through these awful days when I don't get much done while I try desparately to sound to colleagues and clients like i'm on top of things.

> MairYou have just written exactly how I feel! This whole thread is how I feel. Trying to keep up appearances to family, at work, while not getting *nearly* enough done. I present normally at work and to family, though I present more as I really am to my therapist. I think what people at work see when I'm at my brutal worst is that I seem a bit tired. I often joke that I should get an Emmy award for my performance. Thanks folks for helping me feel less alone with this.
