I don't think everyone can relate to the experience of being in such a desperate state for a prolonged period. To have such actions/thoughts/sentiments as integral to ones everyday life on an ongoing basis. Perhaps because they cannot relate they assume that the person is not REALLY feeling that way. It's a lot more comfortable believing that someone is 'game-playing' rather than suffering to this extent. I'm sorry you have had such an invalidating and judgmental experience here.
