If this sounds like you, you may have perfectly hidden depression (PHD). You recognize something is wrong, but you're not sure what exactly-only that you feel trapped and alone. The problem? You're filled with self-criticism and shame, and you can't allow yourself to express fear, anger, loss, or grief. If you were raised to believe that painful emotions are a sign of weakness, or if being vulnerable has always made you feel unsafe, then you may have survived by creating a perfect-looking life-a life where you appear to be successful, engaged, and always there for others.
