kat, for years before my dx i put on a smile tho i was so very depressed. laughing on the outside and cring on the inside. i stuffed feelings and became even more depressed. there's a saying i coined, when i was running from self the only person who'ed be there is myself when i "arrive". it takes practice to fix this solution. keep working with T. sounds like u're trying to break that mold. yr honesty will help you too.
