stacia --
hey. i've done the pretending to be happy thing too. i think it's because we have a certain sense of pride about how we handle our trials -- we want to be a good patient and show that we're not like the _real_ troubled folks out there.
i would suggest actually printing out your note and showing it to whoever you see about your meds and feelings (therapist, psychiatrist, regular dr., whoever). that way it is all written down, even if it is too hard to acknowledge how you feel in words.
