I Sometimes Say Im Okay, Even When I'm Not

I go to work. I socialize with family and friends. But when I'm alone my inner demons eat at me

That's the worst. Masking your pain and pretending like everything is okay when it's not. Its probably worst for men because in today's society men have to act tough so showing any kind of emotion questions your masculinity.

You think it might be possible to isolate those demons and tackle them one at a time?

@LucyFuhr Maybe with the help of a psychiatrist and some meds but haven't been to see one in a long time

@ECL1991 Alone time should be a joy, not a curse.
Maybe it's time to give "getting help" some thought again.

I truly wish you well 🤗

I am going through the same things. I got help and I am getting therapy for more than a year now. It is not a silver bullet but it definitely helps. I still havent opened myself to my closest people, but i battling the inner demons quite well. So consider therapy and trust your therapist, I wad struggling initially to even talk openly with her, but now i am making progress - YEAH. So, good luck to you too, you can do it !

It cracks every now and again. My bestfriend told me earlier I was sensitive even though I support her in the things she goes through.
