"are you okay" why does my step-mom keep asking me that shes been asking me that a lot lately do i look sad more than usual do i make it obvious idek if she believes me when i say i am okay sometimes im not sad i just idk i feel numb sometimes and just i feel like i want to be quiet a lot of times i am sad though mainly out of loneliness i hope i dont cry in front of her again she pressures me into opening up to her and i have to come up with an excuse because i dont want to tell her exactly why im crying and im worried because if she notices my mental health is getting worse she might ask my mom to maybe start me back on therapy i dont want to i feel better talking about it to my friends i dont want her to worry about me i just wish i didnt make it so obvious because clearly something i do, the way i act she can tell something's wrong ill be okay though i think its nice she cares but i just i dont want to share my emotions with her my throat hurts and my nose is runny
