Lazy is a heavy word

I have been called "lazy" thousands of times. Lazy for falling asleep during a test, Lazy for sleeping on every car ride of my life, Lazy for needing a nap, Lazy for collapsing in a party, Lazy for yawning constantly, Lazy...Lazy.
Do you know what I am not though? Lazy. I work harder than anyone I have ever met. Every waking moment of my life has been a fight to keep my eyes open, to keep up, JUST to LIVE a TINY bit.
Still on every turn, this word was turned on me. Piled on me. It crushed me. Thinking it makes me want to cry because I know now that had I had little more help, understanding, and aid to get my diagnosis sooner, I could have made this comic a long ago.
But here I am, 26, and my life began at 22 with the aid of medication to tame my symptoms.
Here I am, working my ass off every day. For me.
And I want you to know what this disorder did to me, and what it does to so many people worldwide.
I want you to know...that we are NOT LAZY.

I think lazy people are extremely rare. I don't know anyone who's lazy. I know many people who struggle because of actual mental illnesses and disabilities. Lazy is a stupid concept and I'm pretty sure it causes more shame and frustration than anything
