Help How to pretend to be getting better from depression to a friend?

[Yonlux]

There is a friend of mine who knows that I have depression and wants to help me and she notices that I am getting more sad and empty every day, but I don't want help and so I think of a way to pretend that I am getting better, any tips on how I can do this?

I don't know how you could pretend to get better but one good, but difficult, way to deal with depression on your own is behavioral activation. Go on a walk, get outside, call a friend, no matter how much you don't want to. (I'm not very good at this because I have low discipline).
