I was kicked out of a mental health program and one of the reasons they gave for letting me go was I looked too good! They said that I looked better than the people who worked there. Ok, so sue me. That doesn't mean I am not suffering on the inside! Maybe if they took two freakin' seconds to think about why I made an effort to look so good they'd realize it was a coping mechanism! I have severe PTSD and the LAST thing I want is for someone to single me out in public for being mental! Ok, so sometimes I do this to myself if I have a very obvious flashback, but otherwise, I just want to be normal! I don't dress extravagantly, but I make sure I am always presentable, my hair is done (or up), I am wearing makeup, etc. It just sucks when people judge you and think "well you don't LOOK mental, so you must be fine! Why aren't you working!?!?" Ugh.
