Exactly!!! People don't really get it and it makes you feel so alone and misunderstood.

So feel you, when I'm functioning normally I'm a dynamo. Huge difference from where I am when I'm down (now) and people just can't get it. I'm trying to get my boyfriend to understand this thing I battle with. I feel so misunderstood.

Normalcy is what I crave, but I just want to feel good about myself. This disorder makes that very difficult for me.
I appreciate all of your posts!
