Question: Ever feel like your friends dont know just how screwed up you really are.?
Is this a universal feeling/concern.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
YES! my friends have no idea how close i've come to committing suicide so many times, how i am seriously cutting every day, how i feel like i'm dying inside constantly. everyone actually tells me regularly that i am one of the happiest and most outgoing people they know. the irony. so yes, i'm sure many people feel that way. it feels so much better when you tell people about your problems though, like i can't even explain how much it helps.

Life is difficult and complicated; for everyone. What we fail to do, though, is look around and realize that others are also struggling. Not always with the same issues -- but issues nonetheless.
Yes, I think it's a universal feeling. If we made it a universal concern perhaps we'd become more gracious toward one another.
Best to you, Sweetie!! :)
EDIT:
That is NOT to say that everyone should lay down and die in their own suffering!! Life is also full of happiness found in things great and small!!! You should work hard to achieve your dreams, you should find someone to love and share your life with, you should travel and see the beautiful world, you should have children and raise them to be amazing human beings, you should read great literature and listen to music and taste good food and fine wine...
AND you should remember that people are imperfect (you included, me included, your spouse, your parents, your children...) and that your glorious life will have it's hazards and pitfalls along the way.
Live it anyway.
And be gracious to the checker at Wal-Mart; she's living her topsy-turvy life, too.
Again... very very BEST to you!!! :)Health Question & Answer

Hey
I can understand what you mean. My friends know I have issues, they know I have taken overdoses and stuff but when I am with them I try to be as "normal" as I can be because even if I tell them how I feel they don't fully understand. I don't think they realise how badly it feels to think and feel the way I do and that can be hard for me and them I guess.
I would say a lot of people feel that their friends don't know how bad they feel or are but it depends on the friend and how close and comfortable you are with them. I do have 2 friends who suffer with mental ill health and they know how I feel so in a sense I am not screwed up to them, I am a fellow sufferer and that can be nice, to feel understood.
