How many times have you been told, or by how many people, to just suck it up? Your problem is imaginary. You are a malingerer. You are using this as manipulation. You could make yourself better if you'd just try.
By most people I opened up to. I can't remember a single conversation with someone not suffering from the condition understanding what's going on. That's why I turned into a public liar presenting a facade. And that's pretty exhausting. One of the reasons why I'm pretty withdrawn right now.
Pretty much all this
On the bad days, it gets to a point where I have to excuse myself and go off somewhere to let it out and cool down. It's fine if I'm at home because nobody notices or even questions it anymore, but if I'm out or working it could be a problem.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
