deodorants and antiperspirants Wal-Mart had to offer, and I wore lots of sweaters to hide the smell and the humiliating sight of dampness growing on the sides of my shirts.
I didn't even have to feign sickness, because most of the time I did get sick enough to feel dizzy and nauseous.
For people like me, just getting out of bed every morning can be an act of courage. To go out and face the world and its challenges takes all the bravery we can muster. It's exhausting, it's painful, and it's taken a good five or six years of misery to get me to the point where I can talk semi-comfortably on the phone (but only when absolutely necessary) and go out in public and interact with strangers (even in some ice breaker games) without having a meltdown.
