I Hide My Pain Well

I have to keep it hidden, one because I'm a mother and two because I simply hate when people pity me. My hurt and pain has made me stronger in more ways than one. Don't get me wrong I am still helpful to others, as far as I'm concerned I'm still an empath, but as far dealing with my own hurt I just can't. There are times when things become overwhelming I've found a solution to this. I press Ctrl Alt .... and patiently wait until I find the Delete button.
