Is it normal to be sad on the inside but happy on the outside?

When i went on antidepressants i used to laugh and smile even when i was depressed .it felt like someone else was controlling me on the outside , so i quit the meds after awhile but it seems like they've changed my emotions forever . Im still the same as i was when i was on antidepressants and it is frustrating because i would really like to feel the same and not hide under a smiling mask .

    Try to fix what's making you sad on the inside so it can match the outside :)

    I think most people tend to feel like that normally, they just put on their big-girl panties and deal with it.

    I am only laughing on the outside. My smile is just skin deep. If you could see inside I'm crying, you might join me for a weep...
