It must get awful tiring feeling like you can't be yourself. I think... It is okay to cry sometimes. I used to cry an awful lot. I seek solitude rather than connection... Mostly... But I used to come here to get a lot of what I consider to be 'bad sh*t' out... And expressing it helped me...
I'm sorry you are feeling horrible. But... I'm glad that you felt that you could say how you felt here. That you don't feel like you have to put on a false front or pretend to be something that you are not...
I mean... I think there can be some truth to the 'act your way to feel different'. But that that is different from pretending to feel something that you don't. I find it hard to tell what I'm up to sometimes. Sigh.
Do you have something that makes you feel good about yourself? Something that you feel you are good / competent at... Or that gives you a sense of satisfaction or like you have done some good or anything like that? If you don't... Can you think of anything that might give you some kind of a feeling like that? Maybe if you could find something then that might help you feel better when you are feeling bad?
