This is really brave.
Wil Wheaton could have quietly hidden his suffering, but he chose to open up about the depression he was feeling to help normalize it — something we could not appreciate more!

The Star Trek alum took to Instagram Wednesday night to show fans what was really going on behind his smiling face, saying in his selfie vid:
“Hey everybody. I wanna show you something. This… this is my face. It’s also what depression looks like.”
He explained how depression hits people even when they’re surrounded by success:
“I’m having a real hard day. There’s a lot of great things in my life right now, and it does not make sense at all at a time when there’s so much good in my life I would feel so profoundly bad — that I would be hurting so much — that every second of today has been a struggle.”
So thankful for this, Wil!
