Innerzone, very well put. It's incredibly confusing to others if we put on a front of having it together all the time and never show our vulnerable side. Part of the issue is I'm highly sensitive to others moods, and emotions and I assumed that others were the same way. Most people are not! So for me I couldn't understand why no one would reach out to me when I wasn't well because I was the first to do that for others......It's a work in progress!
