Great to meet you!
The plastered smile on your face will not trick you into believing that everything is Okay. Your friends listen politely and nod with a blank look. Family members are good at advising themselves, but it does not apply to you. You thank them warmly and ask yourself, "Why doesn't anyone get it? When will someone understand?"
It feels like a huge burden you are carrying on your shoulders, and the load keeps getting heavier. Each step feels like an eternity.
