I can smile all I want —
It doesn’t mean I’m okay.
I can drink as many cups of coffee as I want —
It doesn’t mean I’m okay.
I can listen too all of your cliché sayings and questions —
“Have you tried yoga?”
“Maybe your just dehydrated, try drinking more.”
“Have you considered it’s all in your head?”
“Keep your head up, it’ll be better tomorrow.”
I accept them all with a fake smile and a nod —
It’s doesn’t mean I’m okay.
No I have not tried yoga.
One position would put me blue in the face.
Yes, we have l considered that in dehydrated. I drink more in one day than you do in a week.
Yes, I have been accused of that too. Next.
I will always keep my head up but, not because you tell me too or because I know it’ll be better tomorrow.
I don’t know that and neither do you.
I keep my head up because it’s the only way I know how to get through the day.
So,
I will smile as much as I can —
To fool myself into thinking I’m okay.
I will drink as much coffee as my stomach can stand —
To fool myself into thinking I’m okay.
I I’ll be okay.

I’m going through the same thing. People telling me to just toughen it up and focus on the good. But that’s really hard when you feel the way you do. I am getting help though, and I suggest you do too. Talk to a trusted adult such as a parent or family member. And maybe see a counselor or therapist. Good luck :)
