I hope to think I have accepted it (it's been 10 years since diagnosis), but the world makes it hard sometimes. I feel "crazy" for being crazy, lol. Seriously, though, people will expect you to be as capable as they are at everyday life tasks. My partner thinks I'm lazy because I can't keep up with chores, etc. But it takes all my emotional energy to teach high school all day and I am drained when I come home. I can't do what many people find quite easy. Sometimes I can't even stop to get milk. But others don't see what causes that. I explain it to others as diabetes or a broken leg. i CAN get things done, but also need some understanding of my limitations.
