Thank you for understanding. I feel like the people around me don't take me seriously. I'm high functioning and have a job and normal looking life, so people always tell me I'm doing fine so don't worry. They don't understand how sick you can be and still look "fine" when you choose to present yourself to others. I just feel like I can't do this anymore and no one takes me seriously until I completely break down or it becomes physically obvious because I lose so much weight. When I reach out for help before it gets that bad, they tell me I'm doing fine or ignore me. I'm not fine. I feel like I'm dying, but in a way I can't explain to someone who doesn't have this.
