Congratulations! That is very encouraging

  I feel like if I show how I am really doing then I will be seen as a drama queen or as weak.

Hi IFeelSoAlone

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time!
One thing I also struggle with is feeling that I have a right to the way I feel.
To my mind, this comes from having one's feelings consistently invalidated by one's FOO.
Obviously I don't know what your story/background is but I think it's fair to say that if
you're continuously dubbed a drama queen/attention-seeking/too sensitive etc. by your family or in an intimate relationship,
you question and second guess your own feelings automatically, which is extremely damaging.

I find the Spartanlifecoach helpful on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHiFnJ2Mx68
This clip might not be the most relevant to how you're feeling but it may help in terms of actually allowing yourself to feel your feelings.

I wish you well and that you beat the funk.
