"you will get better" - fuck you.

I am so tired. I hate all of the "why are you crying? It's going to be okay, it's not a death sentence", "you will get better after therapy", "you will learn compensatory strategies", "it's been two years since diagnosis, you should have coped already", "you will be okay" - I KNOW. I am aware! But you said yourself - it's not fully curable. I can't become like everyone else entirely. How can i get over the fact, that my whole life i will have to compensate and exert three times more effort than people without any disorders or anything like that! Things they can do without thinking - i have to catch myself before i act on my usual impulse and tell my loud mind to shut up and compensate. I have no doubt I'll get better at some point of my life. But that doesn't change the fact that this PD with me FOREVER. Why can't no one just understand what i mean? I am only 18, it feels so shitty knowing, that i will be different forever. I honestly don't want to seek anything optimistic in this. I just want to be understood and accepted.
