literally this is one of the worst feeling especially when u know how hard ur trying. And not even just family,other people will say it too even if it's not directly "ur lazy" maybe they'll comment about how low your grades are or how you're not doing well at work. f*cking exhausting. Family treats u like u haven’t been trying only complaing about you but never check on you.

Functioning in the world is one thing. Functioning in the world while you're fighting your own mind every single day and adding having to manage that struggle on top of daily activities and a schedule is a unique difficulty that I hope no one ever experiences.

Why didn't you get a job yet?"
"I'm trying"
"When? When have you tried?"
"All I see is you lying on your room all the time"

I've told them countless times it's hard for me. They go "what? What is hard? Aren't you given shelter and all necessities? Then what's hard?"

We may seem "lazy" to our families and other people; but in reality we're having to work harder than they are to even function, and they'll never be able to understand how or why.

Hmmm.
