lost in the land of confusion 8 and holding

[Yoyowife]

I know exactly what you mean. When my situation started I had such a difficult time putting on a brave face. I really just wanted to stay in bed all day and bawl. It really was hard for me since I teach high school kids. There were so many times I had to walk over and act like I was going through my file cabinets just so I could turn my back to them and try to regain control of my emotions.

Then when I got home I had teenage daughter around so that I had to act like I was fine so that I wouldn't upset her.

I wasn't able to really get a handle on my emotions until I starting taking the anti-depressant/anxietey meds.
