You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you really were beneath it...

The details don't really matter, but I've spent most of the day so stressed out that my skull is rattling from the pressure of my teeth grinding together.

I'm trying to work, but every few minutes I have to stop typing and make fists so tightly that my whole body shakes.
