I said in another post on this thread that that's hard to do because they tend to not believe me... But I think I will try and push through that fear and do it anyway *fingers crossed*

Because of that thought most people don't believe I'm ill because I internalise a lot of what I want to say. It's only when I'm really elevated and angry or euphoric that I can't filter what I say/do. So I'll appear normal, or a bit quiet and inside I'll want to be lying in my bed hiding from people, or leaving somewhere on a train, or SI, etc.
I was always paranoid about how high functioning I was, reading this and seeing others are like that makes me feel a bit better.

Yaaaassss! Feeling you on this, not much to add except I really relate to what you wrote
Ha-ha my mum and sisters are also the ones to recognise somethings not up most of the time too. I guess because I live with them some stuff will come up unintentionally.
