You're not a fraud. I understand how you feel, though. I can seem just fine. My friends were really shocked when I had to go on leave. Something a therapist said in group today seems really appropriate:

I stubbed my toe and it hurt. Yes, someone else may have almost cut their leg off, but knowing that doesn't make your toe feel any better.
