It's just how it is

I found this quote/passage the other day and just really connected with it.

When I say I'M NOT OKAY it's not to seek out attention. I'm not doing it to get sympathy or to feel sorry for myself. I'm saying it because I need my illness to be REAL to the outside world, so I don't feel like I'm going CRAZY inside my own body. I need to TALK about it the same way I talk about my day or my plans for the week-end (which usually involve sleeping). Because it IS a part of my day, will be a part of my week-end and will always be a part of my REALITY. Please don't make me feel ashamed when I share my reality with you.

This is so how I feel, I just couldn't get it into words.
