It's all in my head
"What happened???"
"I wish I knew but I don't..."
"Surely something made you this way!"
And I hope you're right
Am I faking it, just for attention?
But I pretend to be fine, satisfied that they don't notice
I'm just being dramatic then!!!
But I've never complained to anyone and I can't seem to cry anymore
It's all in your head
"It's all in your head"
"What?!"
"I mean how do not have a reason??? You're probably faking it! What are you not getting the attention you want from everyone!?!"
Is she right?
No it's like you said, you didn't even let anyone find out
But maybe I sent out hints?!? I didn't mean to!! I shouldn't have reached out for help!!! I was doing fine..it was all in my head!!!!!
No it's n-
"It's all in my head?"
"So it's true...that's really insensitive of you!!!"

Author's Note
I wanted to tell a story about the perspective of having depression without it being caused by a traumatic event and I wanted to submit my first draft just to show how I could interpret it as my first impression regarding the perspective. Feel free to give feedback or tell me something you found interesting about the dialogue! :)
