You know I have similar thoughts to you too. I think because I feel sad a lot lately, and I think that's ok. I have to work really hard to be happy. It doesn't feel authentic. I think maybe I shouldn't hide that I'm sad, but then it feels like self sabotage, like I'm not even willing to try and have a happy life.

If I read into it though maybe I do really want to be happy, maybe that is the authentic part. I also get irritable sometimes and often take it out on my family
