Fake Smiles Come So Easy Now Posted: 04-12-05 20:38pm
Im 15 and diagnosed with minor depression
by my therepist who I stopped seeing. I
didnt have the normal symptoms of
hoplessness, fatigue, loss of intrest.
Its actully quite the opposite.
It all started 2 years ago thanksgiving.
My oldest cousin, my best friend when I
was a baby, was in rehab. Im standing
there talking to his younger brother who
is now 25, and I say to our cousin's new
husband "this is my favorite cousin" and
he said "yeah thats because he's the only
one who will talk to you." "my favorite
cousin" was the youngest one there besides
me and he's 25.
I hated him for saying that, like I wasnt
even accepted into my own family and that
he just came it and took over... I wanted
to hurt him. But I didnt, I laughed it
off. Why? I dont know.
Then my mom and my stepdad were having
trouble. Alot of fighting, screaming and
words that hurt not only eachother, but me
too, but they dont know. My mom has a
disease called myelofibrosis, which she is
currently in the hospital for out in
washington. Im in ny living with my best
friend. But my mom and step dad went
through a messy divorce. The words that
came out were really mean. I would often
crymyself to sleep to get away from the
screaming. I loved my step dad, he took
me to ranger games and things and
supported me in everything. They got
divorced and we moved outta my old house
the day after christmas. They refuse to
talk to eachother.
At my black belt graduation my mom didnt
want him to be there, but I had him come
any way. He was part of the reason my
acomplishements were achieved. I
graduated to my 2nd degree black belt that
night, and they sat at different tables,
not saying a word.
So any way, besides my mom and dad being
divorced and my mom and step dad being
divorced, I was now living with my mom who
was high stung b.C she was getting her
bone marrow transplant in the near future,
not to mention ur patience is short.
Plus we were now in a house so tiny.
Then my half brother was thrown in jail.
Then I started failing math.
Then my mom went away.
Then me and my boyfriend of almost 10
months now are starting to have problems.
Stupid things like rumors and things going
around. What ever
now im living with my best friend, which
is great. I still see my dad and step dad
often, infact there friends.
These things motivated me to make the
impression on people that im ok. Nothings
wrong with me. Fake smiles covered the
hidden tears that never will be shown. At
karate, when I taught my students, when I
took class, I look so happy, more recently
I am, they make me happy.
I dont like to cry. Infact I think its
weak. I hated it when I did or do cry
myself to sleep, but I do it so silently
that u could hear a pin drop.
Is that bad that I cant show emotions of
weakness?
Does that make me weak?
What can I do?
I hope things turn around soon. Maybe
you can help me.

Its not bad that you can't show emotions
openly like others. Many can't do that.
The only thing is don't try to show tyour
emotions in bad ways like cutting or
carving or naything. Those are hramful.
I sincerely hope you're not doing that.
I'm so sorry to hear your mom is so sick
and you have been enstranged from your
stepdad and brother. Leaving the people
you love can be the hardest thing in the
world. Bu thtey love you too, they are
thinking of you and they are there in your
mind and heart aren's they? You step dad
seems to be a great guy and he will
continue to guide you in life even though
he may not be with you all the time. Your
brother, hopefeully will be out of jail
soon an dedicate to having a better life.
By remembering him, you can help him lead
a better and more full life. Your cosuin
was wrong to say that to you and you know
he iwasn't right to do that, you know that
you are worth somuch more, you were put on
earth for a reason and you will find out
what it is.
Peoplw ho can't show emotions openly often
feel better while writing. Maybe you
could keep a personal dairy? It's a great
way to let go of emotions secretly and
safely. Well, take care and keep me
posted on how you are doing. :d :d :d

Maybe ita a good thing you cant show
emotions of weakness because then people
cant see they have hurt you, you will look
strong and people wont walk all over you.
