no one ever sees the real me either.. i get it; it would be too difficult to try to deal with the reactions from everyone... its much easier to fake rather than confront..
doing this isn't good though... but i can't let anyone know the truth - the most i muster up to tell anyone is i suffer from MDD and PTSD - sometimes i just tell them its ADHD... but i never go into details, im just not ready for that...
