You said it so perfectly. It takes so much out of you to paint a smile on your face and when someone asks you "how are you?" just nod and say "Fine" when inside you want to SCREAM at them!
I wear so many masks!It really helps to read posts like this just to know there's other's out there that KNOW what it's like.
Thanks!> > I wish I could appear the way I feel. I wish I could get across how badly I've felt and how it's incapacitated me. How sometimes I can't even think. The thoughts just don't come, just this blackness in my mind. It would help a lot of people who knew me could see this, and understand.
