I am sat here in A&E / the emergency room waiting to be seen and I'm realising I have a problem and wondering if any of you can relate.

Basically I have some kind of insect bite on my ankle and my whole foot has swollen up and I feel so dizzy and unwell.

I am so trained by my uBPD mother to not show any weakness, to act like I'm fine even when I'm not, that I could just completely hide how sick I'm feeling. So now if I decide to 'show' how I'm feeling it almost feels like I'm performing/putting it on.

Can anyone relate?
