> I agree with sar seeing how I work in retail as well and it is "hell" for someone who is depressed to have to put on the "happy face". I feel these double lives are part of the reason that I sit and contemplate suicide so much. Why can't we just be ourselves....what the hell are people so scared of that some of us might just be upset and living some tough lives???

> The SourcerorAs insensitive as this may sound, it is actually good to know other people feel like I do. So, my next question is, what would happen if we just told it like it is? I guess one of my biggest fears is letting people know how sick I feel. The one or two times I've told people (friends) I actually got very positive feedback, but this terrifies me. It would be so much easier at work if I could tell my boss, but the very thought has me reaching for my xanax. Any thoughts?
