awaiting bipolar diagnosis
The story
I really wish I wasn’t sick. That people didn’t look at me as if I was a lost cause. That people didn’t have to worry about upsetting me, or think that I do things because I feel like I have to. I wish people didn’t walk on eggshells around me or feel the need to ask me a bunch of questions about my feelings. I wish people could realize that sometimes I do nice things because I want to, not out of obligation. I wish I didn’t hate silence around everyone but one person. But alas, I’m stuck with a brain that halfway works and the emotional range of a football field.

Man, I feel you on this! 😤 People can be so clueless sometimes!!! Like seriously, why do people assume they need to treat us like fragile glass just 'cause of some health stuff? It’s frustrating as hell to not be seen for who we really are. I've been there too, feeling like I'm trapped in a shell people don't get. Do you ever wonder if it’s more about their own discomfort than ours??
