no one who would say things like that to me knows my diagnosis.

The people who WOULD say things like that to me (my family) will never, ever, know my diagnosis. As it is I get things like delusional, crazy, oversensitive, etc etc from them. Even when I am being particularly calm in the face of their horrid behaviours.

I have, even before being on meds, been asked if I took my meds. If someone says that, or asks/assumes that I am PMSing I will in fact flip out because it's minimizing, invalidating and condescending. (if it was a PMS comment I will then go TMI and inform them that I'm typically a lot more pleasant during those weeks!)
