I get embarrassed by the diagnosis, the preconceived notions, and stigma associated with it. I appreciate some the things that have helped make me who I am but not being able to be open, not being able to be myself, and having to wear a mask at times for how I truly feel, I feel shame and embarrassed by it sometimes.
