A member asked:
Could i be afraid of getting "better" mentally, b/c i'm afraid i'll have to go back to pretending everything is fine? perhaps i'm just making excuses?

Yes, you could be.: The form of your question insures a "yes" answer! anyone could be afraid of something for almost any reason. More interesting, to me, is why pretend? Does "everything" have to be "fine" in order for you to be happy? How about striking a balance, where some things may be fine, while others are not? Start with the presumption that your genuine self is fine enough- no need to pretend. Ok?
