Another chronic hider here. I seem fine most of the time. My current t can see through my mask, and it really scares me sometimes. She tried to get me hospitalized once, which no one else has ever tried to do. But the good thing about her seeing through my mask is that she figured out that I needed more zyprexa. Now I'm on a higher dose, and I don't need to hide behind a mask because I genuinely feel fine most of the time. It's to the point where I wonder if all my earlier symptoms were just my imagination, because I'm doing so well. So, I'd say it's important not to hide for too long; you might be missing out on help that could change your life.
