I am a smiler, and a laugher for that matter. My insides are nobody's business.

Just because I (and you) have learned to carry ourselves with some measure of grace does not mean we are not suffering.
My doctor sees the gambit of unhappiness all day long. He told me he looks forward to seeing me because I am "pleasant". And now he tries harder to understand, and works harder to help me.

My doctor had the same reaction as yours at first. I Look Fine. I don't put on the IN PAIN face so I must not be.
Um, no.
My words are telling you.

Just because I don't wear my pain, my depression, my disappointment or heartbreak on my sleeve, or in my happy face, doesn't mean I am not.

What you give, a smile, I hope to get back 10 fold.

Depression Is tough. Hang in there, I am rooting for you!
