Hello-

It’s a bit odd to think of people seeing you from a different perspective than you see yourself. My wife recently mentioned, nonchalantly, that my eyes look different when I’m in ‘an episode’. I have never thought of this but I guess it is very normal for her to see this in me, where as I cannot see the change. She says it's in my eyes. Anyone else have someone share a comment like this?

Hey @twosided! How are you today?

Personally, I somewhat understand what your wife means, but I do not see it as a bad thing, more like a small thing you notice, after spending a lot of time with a person and getting to know them well. You can start noticing small things like that. I will tag some members, who might want to share their thoughts on this too!

Hello everybody! How are you doing?

Do you think you visibly change when having "an episode"?Has anyone ever made any remarks about it? How do you feel about it?

Take care,
