I came home, after visiting with such a "normal" person with a "normal" life wondering if I can hide my not-normalities forever. As I've gotten older it's becoming very difficult.

Nobody has the right to know what kind of illnesses you have, mental or not. Please remember that next time.
It is a blessing to have life-long friends. Mine are dead. There is one still living, but I don't know were she lives and she has married into another name.
Do you know any relaxation exercises you can use instead of using a med in front of challengers? I find relaxation exercises very important in my life. Had to work with them for some months before they sat. May be you can try to make a list of what
is normal in your life and repeat and repeat that for yourself until it sits.
By the way: It is OK to feel exhausted after being out for a friend chat.
Be kind to yourself today!
