I have lots of objective things to be upset about and that i struggle with, and at the same time, sometimes they all seem small things that nobody would be bothered about.

Sometimes the pain feels REAL, other times, when it all seems small stuff it feels like all that pain that i felt 10 mins before was fake.

how do you know if your pain is real and you're not faking/exaggerating it?

i have tried through SH, drinking, pills... i am taken care by the mental services and 2 therapists. i should believe i really am not well, but what if i was USING those things to show a pain that is not so real? to get attention maybe. sometimes i feel a fake. how do you know if it is REAL? thanks.
