Keep writing about your feelings...
it is carthartic, and poetic.
Take if from someone who has lost every woman in her family... writing it down helps.

jems, I found that fooling others is not what works, but fooling myself.
Depressed and ugly in the morning mirror, " Hey, beautiful, you look great! It's going to be a good day and you look ready to take on anything. Heads will turn and movie contracts will be offered. Now, brush your teeth." It works, just the irony of it all makes me have a real smile somedays.
Then I over dress, over accessorize and put on some unwanted makeup. I stand taller doing this and make myself laugh at the 'acting' in the day.

I'm sorry you're hurting so much. I can relate to a lot of what you said. Sometimes I almsot hope that I'll get so good at convincing others I'm okay that I will start to believe it myself. No such luck so far. Take caer of yourself.

One of the greatest things a very loving spiritual entity once said to me was "You are not alone." It's really true. Take comfort in that.

Hey, who are you calling a "no one"? 
Sorry to joke, this was a great post, and I can totally relate to much of what you said. Hermitude is a coping mechanism for me. I too feel like I'm hiding all these "truths" about myself. There are things I tell no one, for I just don't see how anyone could understand what it is like. I don't want sympathy or pity, just understanding.
