I can relate to this. My husband, and possibly my mother, can quickly pick up when something is amiss. Otherwise I am successfully able to hide my depression, anxiety and panic from most. My biggest frustration is when people (in my experience a pharmacist) said to my "but you don't LOOK depressed". What am I supposed to LOOK like? My body does definately aid the deception. By way of headaches, sore nose, frequent toilet trips and so on and on and on .
I come across as forthright and confident and knowing what I want, just very stressed in therapy. I have not yet been able to drop my guard long enough to actually get any help out of therapy. Part of the reason that I am not receiving any right now.Sabrina
