'Cuz you're human, tony.
But don't let it get you down, you've got enough on your mind already. I understand completely -- my most pervasive lifelong personality trait is I'd rather avoid someone for ten years (literally) than tell them bad news about my life. If I'm sick, broke, or depressed, I'll flat out lie and tell them everything is terrific. Nobody wants to talk to a whiner, yada yada yada. I know it's neurotic but I can't help myself.
When you have something you feel like saying, say it, we'll all listen. You're funny as heck, even when you're not trying to be (dry wit comes out in spite of us, sometimes), warm, sensitive and caring. Aurora puts up with you, and you know she wouldn't if you were actually spouting nonsense (she has way too much class for that. :-) Be gentle with yourself right now, and do let your doc know what you're going through, if you haven't already. Joy, sadness, anger, tears, we love you just the same.
Hugs
