You would be surprised at how many people are really not ok. Many of the people you are looking at are probably struggling with something, even when they appear to be normal (whatever that really means).
I'm not saying this to invalidate your pain, but just to let you know that you are not alone. A lot of people suffer silently. This forum is a collection of people who want to share and explore their pain, with the hope of maybe helping each other. However, in that respect, this forum is the exception, rather than the rule. Most people tend to suffer in silence, because of the fear of not appearing normal. You are brave though, because you don't hide your pain and try to be supportive of others in pain.
