Guilt.


I know I just told the world that my illness is valid, that it should deserve some attention and validity as compared to other illnesses, but I am starting to feel guilty. 

I emailed Princess' dance studio director that I was having health problems and went into the hospital and could she refund us tuition until I know when I can have Princess back in dance.

She was so kind and replied, "You look so beautiful and healthy. I had no idea you were ill."

And now I'm feeling guilty.

Nope. It wasn't a medical hospital. Nope. I don't have cancer of the body.

The world isn't used to regarding mental illness and "ill". 

I kind of feel like I lied.
