I just realized I wear a mask. I've never thought of it before or realized until now. Something very significant has just happened to me, and I am deeply sorrowful, but a friend just sent me a message and I replied to him in the humorous way that my normal, chipper self would. Why is this? I am so sad, but from the perspective of my friend I am happier than ever. Have I always done this and not realized?

I will never seek guidance from someone who isn't family, a friend, or an anonymous stranger. The "mental health" industry is filled with demons.
