If you're functioning, what are people supposed to do?
If you're suffering from a medical issue that's for a medical professional, not your coworker/neighbor
Like, not minimizing the condition, or the experience of the individual. But a society can only hope to react to issues if they perceive the issue. If you are functioning and achieving in society, there are no signals.
Further, it wouldn't be appropriate for your coworker or similar to get involved in your healthcare.
For real, also an appeal to victim status coming from a successful doctor doesn't hit quite the same.
So you somehow think doctors don't have to deal with mental struggles?
We all got problems. I'm just having a little trouble mustering too much sympathy for this highly successful individual.
Well as an adult that went a long time before my diagnosis, I can tell you that if you understood what it was like to live like that, you'd have no problems mustering sympathy.
Hell, I'm as 'eat the rich' as anyone else here but it doesn't matter how externally successful you appear if you feel miserable inside all the time.
