If you were to meet all five feet of me, it’s easy to assume that my life in the desert is picture-perfect, since I am very good at hiding behind a happy, smiling face and positive outlook on life. Behind that smile is a high-functioning depressed woman who has a hard time getting out of bed most days, is anxious every time she has to do something new, hates socializing, uses food to hide her feelings and is insecure about her parenting capabilities. It’s amazing what you can hide behind a smile, right?
