How cruel is pretending to be emotionless and I am almost breaking down.

Why do you have to pretend not to be sad? No one can be emotionless unless they are a robot. No one is expected to put a happy smile on 24/7 as it's not possible.

Why do you feel you have to hide your sadness? It’s ok to feel. No-one expects anyone to be happy all the time.

You may benefit from more rest and sleep. Be very gentle and kind to yourself. Self care and self soothing techniques are vital during this time. Do something that You would like to do. Your mental health is important and you cannot help anyone if your close to breaking down.
