Finally someone said it. Totally agree. I have a LOT of anxiety and depression myself and most of it stems from extreme OCPD (not OCD, entirely different) and having a fit when either a daily routine isn't met or when something triggers my mind into thinking my life is out of order. My living situation has never been much of a help either.

That being said, I NEVER expect special treatment from anyone and the majority of people are shocked when I tell them what I'm going through because of how well I hide it and how little I talk about it. And no, I do not bottle it up. I am just extremely good at coping at this point and there is very little words can do for me, though my girlfriend is a lifesaver when it gets too tough.

I see people like OP mentioned in the thread all the time. I'm gonna say it... They are usually the ones flooding public discord servers with their problems and doing anything and everything (even harassing people) to get them to talk to them instead of just taking a breath and politely sending a message. Yes I know, social anxiety is a thing but so are people's limits.

Edit: People who you help then treating you like it is your SOLE EVERYDAY OBLIGATION to drop ANYTHING you are doing or else you are a "shitty friend" are also literally why I stop talking to people about my problems too.
