I am surrounded by people every day and still feel painfully alone. I keep saying I am fine, but honestly I feel like I am disappearing in front of everyone. My parents trust me so much. If they knew the truth about my life right now, everything would break. I am 31F, everyone thinks I am strong, but I cry every night after acting normal all day. Everyone calls me mature, but I am just tired and better at hiding my mess. I am doing everything right on paper, but inside I feel completely lost. I moved to a new city to start over, but my old fears came with me. I have never said this out loud before.
