Please stop calling me “high functioning”

The worst I get on this front, is "there's nothing wrong with you". Its so patronising and degrading, and sends you down on a spiral.

Very well said. God bless you and anyone who has to deal with mental illness. I love the way this puts everyone dealing with mental illness on a level playing field. By the way you look amazing. In addition to you doing a great job of taking care of yourself, I know you have an awesome support group with Rob, friends and family. I am honored to be a patron and proud to know you.

Ok thank you, this is a really good idea and I’ll spread the word.

Well presenting is a great term! I hope more people adopt it. We are like ducks well presenting on the surface but racing beneath the surface. Its why I enjoy my quite times after trying hide my symptoms at work and social situations.

I really appreciate you posting this video. It's a phrase that has caused me stress for a very long time.
