You have nothing to be ashamed of! I am proud of you for discussing this!
There are many of us who feel “different” most days, and never mention it it, because really, it seems no one else would care.
I found out about a huge circle of friends suffering the same way when one incredible woman stood up and declared she takes “the pink pill”. From there it snowballed across the internet. I kept mine hidden for decades. One thing that makes a difference for me, and it might only be me, is that before I get out of bed in the morning, I choose: this will be a GOOD day, or this will be a BAD day. Not saying I don’t sometimes crawl back into that bed! Do not let others shame you! You have already carried the weight of so many things. Your feelings and well-being are important. I hug you from afar. Choose your Day and accept it, for today.
