yes. i feel a deep shame when i share my story, things about me, things i am going through. my diagnosis, it feels like a dagger to relationships when it comes from my mouth. i associate the word crazy and dramatic, etc, thinking that others are thinking this when i dont even know what their reaction is. i cant keep it all to myself, the deep pain and identity i carry, this illness. i cant just not speak out. but in the past, yes, i have received that i am "too much" or that i am seeking drama, etc, and i fear getting this response from people i care about.
