All my colleagues know that we were together, and because I don’t want anyone to gloat over me, I pretend all day that I’m happy, act normal, and tell jokes. But as soon as I get home, I start crying and don’t study. I’ve been absent from university a lot. I want to heal soon but I don't know how .

i used to cry in the shower after work just so no one would hear. i wanted to scream but couldn’t even whisper the truth to anyone. you’re not alone
this hurt to read. that pressure to look fine so people don’t get to win? i’ve lived that. and it’s so lonely.
i feel this so much. the pretending is EXHAUSTING. like putting on a full mask just to survive the day. i did it for months at my job and by the time i got home i couldn’t even move. it’s okay if healing feels slow. it’s okay if you're not okay right now.
it's gonna be okay it sucks right now and hurts but let yourself feel it and the pain will pass, what hobbies do you have
