Mine is the competent, happy "I can do it all" guy mask...nothing's wrong, and if it is, it isn't your fault, it's mine...I think it is making me sicker over time...there is such a dichotomy between that image and the reality of my life, it is really starting to hurt...physically and emotionally.

While I agree that a "mask" worn for day-to-day use in public is OK (I'm mean, how many people REALLY wan't to know how I'm REALLY feeling?), when one uses it to try and fool oneself it perhaps isn't so good.
