I can certainly understand a bit where you're coming from. People tend to view mental problems in a negative light, and they don't understand them as they would physical problems, because they can't see them. Often times I get thought of as a basket case, flakey, emotional, unreliable, lazy...

It's very easy for others to judge when they don't understand what goes through your head and how paralyzing mental disorders can be. They can't see it, so some people even go as far as thinking its made up, or you're faking just to get out of doing something. I'm sorry you are also having to experience this. But luckily this forum seems to have many caring and understanding people who don't think of you that way, and can understand what a struggle it is to just be yourself sometimes.
