yep, i tend to pretend that everything is A OK but its not...i go through day by day pretending that i am ok so that my friends and family won't see me hurt

I know exactly what you're saying. I've tried to look at it differently these days though. When I feel like I'm pretending, I try to check in with the little kid in me who feels ignored. I assure that part of me that I will deal with what's going on but at the moment I need to do...X,Y,Z. That really helps sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking around with this big secret and I want to scream. Today has been like that...
Good luck! Annie

Yes i've done that as well , cause you don't want people to see you upset or sad... I think we've probably all done that from time to time, but even if you try and pretend to be happy, the people that know you the best can look beyond that.
