Hmmmm opinions and how to feel better?

No, you shouldn't just suck it up. You should find someone to talk to, even if it's just a friend or a school counselor. Clearly your mother is more concerned with her own image if she's telling you to lie about your well being (she doesn't want to be perceived as a bad mother perhaps), so you need an objective person to help you. But you CAN feel better, without lying. I feel for you and hope you find someone to help... Maybe if you told your therapist the truth something could come of it? I'm not sure, but just a suggestion. Best wishes. -Sim
