I'll smile in my next session, she'll write in her notes I'm doing much better.
or should I make my physical appearance a lie?
I see these mental health professionals as judges, they examine and cast judgement.
I am not psychotic, I am very aware of what is real.

Hello Jesusplay: You expressed well something I have sometimes felt. I no longer have a therapist. I do have a pdoc. But with both, when I've had them, no matter how awful I felt inside, once I got into my session with either of them, even if I wanted to demonstrate how awful I felt, I just couldn't. Something inside of me just wouldn't allow it. So, when they'd ask me how I'm doing I'd smile & say: "okay I guess".
