Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

I went to Ocean City Maryland and while there visited the aquarium. I’m in love with dolphins, so when I saw them I cried. All of my emotions from stress came out as happiness. I couldn’t stop shedding tears. They’re even more beautiful in person. I haven’t felt that at peace in a long time.

I wear a smile and put on a brave face. Schizophrenia is hard to ignore but still I face it. I look normal, I pretend to be normal but it’s hard to fake it. I hear things and see things that aren’t there, puts me in fear, but I act like there’s nothing there. I don’t confide in people anymore because, they don’t understand, I can’t even understand, I’m confused; lost and constantly in my head. #MentalHealth #AutonomicDysfunction #ChronicDepression #Anxiety #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome #ChronicInflammatoryDemyelinatingPolyneuropathy

People look at you and assume you are healthy because, you don’t look sick. It’s like saying you can spot a serial killer, pedophile, or am good/bad parent; just by looking at people. My point is never judge a book by its cover because, the person’s story may surprise you.

I had painted a picture, symbolizing what I describe myself. A woman whose eyes captures people’s attention, but words are always ignored. A woman who has been silenced for years because, her words were purposely ignored. Even in my dreams, I don’t have a voice. I’m just going to go through life being the unheard and invisible woman. I’m always here to be an listening ear for others, but when I get into deep conversations about how I’m feeling, or what’s going on with me, everyone puts in their earplugs. We can talk about petty things but serious things are off limits.
