Shaky when talking about mental illness

I definitely feel my voice shake and the tears start coming when I talk about things that are deeply personal to me. I agree with MoonFairy that there is a lot of trauma that can be attached to sharing about our mental and physical health with others. It can be difficult to get over the miscommunications, misunderstandings, or people straight up not believing you. But it’s great that you can identify that you have safe spaces to share. That’s so important. And for me, because I am nonverbal under stress, I’ve found that being able to type out a message works so much better than forcing myself to verbalize. I am glad to have alternative communication in mind, if only all doctors had some sort of messaging app, I’d be set.

I get shaky and nervous talking about mental or medical issues. People don’t seem to understand. They judge. They think I’m lying bc it’s invisible. So I get insanely nervous whenever I’m in a situation where I should bring it up, but often don’t bc of this. Not sure if that’s what u mean tho
