Does anyone else feel that they can pretend like they're normal for a short amount of time (and actually cope quite well like a regular person in the outside world) but after a couple of weeks the effort is too much and you crash and burn out and cant "be normal" anymore?
Yes this is something I do most days. I work in a preschool nursery and I have to pretend to be normal "mask" to get through the day, and talk to my colleagues, and the parents. When I get home I am exhausted and literally collapse into bed where I'll stay for the rest of the night if I can.
