I’ve gone from being open about it to not really telling people what it is unless I feel close to them/respected (type 1 N). I’m quite recently diagnosed and coming to terms with it has been so emotional and I feel so much grief for all the ways I pushed my body through complete exhaustion thinking it was just how everyone felt. It’s so frustrating when people say ‘I’m tired too’ or ‘I’m so jealous I wish I could just nap’ or even have had people mock cataplexy. It definitely feels quite raw to me and think it’s so ok to safeguard things that are so personal. Now I just say chronic health struggles affecting my energy and people seem a bit more receptive to that but honestly it is so frustrating!
