when it's obvious

Obvious disabilities need no explanation. Intermittent and not so obvious problems can cause a person much stress and alienation. if I fight my disability and appear healthy and strong then to one who has no perspective I must be faking, or letting psychosis rule me. The fact is we hide when we feel bad, just don't want to explain what is going on and the last thing we want is pity.
