I always smile when I'm sad. I always laugh when I want to scream and cry. I always talk when I want to be silent. I always act like everything is okay when it's not. I always suck it up and stay strong when all I want to do is give up. I always help others out when I need help the most. I always take care of others instead of myself. I always tell others don't worry it will get better when I do the opposite myself. I always try to make people's days brighter and their thoughts positive while mine are opposite. I always tell people to love themselves and that they are beautiful when I don't believe it to be true about myself. I always tell people that I'm okay when in reality I need help, I need support, I need love, I need happiness. I need to stop and realize that it doesn't matter because I don't believe anyone cares even though I know they do. I always feel alone even though I have loved ones. I always feel depressed when I have so much to be happy about. I always hate myself for doing this on a daily basis. I always find myself in a pit of self loathing and being unable to get out. What am I to this world that I live in? If I feel I'm not worth it even though others do? Why can't I see the beauty that others see? Why can't I see the courage? The happiness? The passion? The hope and love that others see in me? Why do I do this to myself when I could be happier? Why can't I stop doing this to myself? Why can't the voices in my head just shut up and tell me something positive about me for once? Why can't I love myself?

joyce never asked me but I had done psychology in film studies at university and sociology and had to do heaps of readings of suicide statistics and fruedian theory and other theories but as a general humanities student people pass you off as having no skills in the workplace, I did Human Resources/workplace counselling years ago. and I was still treated like I had no work skills, that is what insults me, its not about ego, I knew I had all the skills to do conveyancing and legal representation and legal research in my paralegal diploma but russsos wanted to turn everything into this "ego- status" so I just went along with it and I went and did theology studies in secret. I don't give a stuff what they think of me, I was ready for a husband back years ago. its not that i need a job title to prove my worth but do I have to always be written of as unskilled and dumb all the time,they did the same thing to my dad - he worked in the banks as a teller and transfering large amounts of money and had to carry a gun and he had to do financial reports on air and journalism and teaching and political work and always being treated like a some loser with no working skills. its like we are not entitled to any sense of "well this is what do or this is who I am". my mother went through that too, she ran govt depts and worked for a politician and she did a lot of journalism writing and charity work with telathons and went to operas a lot. and people pass us off as if we are simple. sure we might not have phds and titles of nobility but gee everyone is entitled to earn and have an identity - so why can't I?
