I lie to my family constantly. They are so far away and couldn't do anything anyhow. Also, I don't want them to worry. Since I started therapy, I don't lie as much to my friends. If I don't let them know how I am feeling, how can they possibly support me. That is propably the most important thing I learned from therapy. Only by letting people know what is going on can they be there for me.

The other thing I do is lie to myself. Sometimes I think that if I didn't, I wouldn't survive.
