I was misdiagnosed with severe ADHD, and I have learned to not trust my inappropriate emotions (and hence hide them from others and myself) because I was tormented as a kid at school (by teachers and students alike) with statements like:
Did you take your hyper pills today?
Hey, look at him freak out--must not have taken his hyper pills!
Etc.
When I think about it, now, in light of my BP diagnosis, no wonder I hide behind an 'everything's fine' facade.
