Reach out to me; PLEASE. I just want someone to hold me and tell me it’s going to be ok, that I’m attractive, smart, skilled and talented. I’m not about to come to you and confess that I feel weak; you’d have to come to me, don’t be satisfied when I say “I’m fine”, persist; don’t you care? I always ask twice, three times sometimes. But everyone just assumes I’m fine because of me great poker face…I just wish someone would see past it once.

My gosh! Me too! It’s like no cares! I’ve been asked if I’m okay before, and I say fine, when I’ve just been crying moments before, and they just smile at me and leave me alone! Just ONCE, I’d like someone to ask me if I’m fine, I’d say I’m fine, and then they would say ‘your lying’ or something like that. SOMEONE to see past the mask! I totally feel you butterfly. Live strong.
Keep your head up! I know how you feel, it’s taken a long time to see I’m not alone – and neither are you! You might not feel fine now, or tomorrow or the next day but you can keep fighting. Always keep fighting. Sometimes the poker face is a good thing that keeps you stronger for a little while, people care. Or tell someone, speak to us on here.
