So "thinking" people are encouraged not to judge those of us with mental illness. We're all supposed to tear down stigma, not judge those who are different. When people see what we're like when not on the proper meds...or when people see us experiencing med side-effects like tremors, weight gain, maybe slowed cognitive processing...don't they judge us, deep down? I never tell anyone about my BD, but some people have observed my behavior or med side-effects. I feel miserably judged. In a strong way, covid has brought relief because I can pretend I'm like everyone else. I can pretend that we all have to refrain from socializing, it's not just me.
But as businesses are reopening here I am again...isolated. Lying to myself.
How do you feel and what do you think? Don't people really think nutcase while they try to act like we're okay?
