I think I know what you mean. I think I so often questioned it because I was surrounding myself with others who suffered, so i assumed everyone felt this way and I just complained more than others. But now, next to my husband who doesn't suffer from this, I'm starting to realize just how different it could be and it's probably why he and I have such different views of the world...oh, and that yes, I'm definitely, or rather, I definitely have this illness.
