2025: Actually I do hide quite often these days. I have tardive dyskinesia (iatrogenic injury, infection and brain injury), often referred to as a "movement disorder." Calling it a movement disorder is extremely misleading. It is much more than the visible movements that people can see. It is often excruciatingly painful and it can be crippling. I sometimes cannot walk. I often cannot speak. I hide because people are cruel to those who look strange or odd. I have been tending to my body for a long time so there are times when it's not visible and that is when I venture into the world. At home I am often nonverbal and sometimes a fall risk. Night time is when the "movements" get really bad. Tardive dyskinesia can cause freezing as well as a lot of "movement." Anyway. The healng process continues and it's clearly moving in the right direction and everything I just said is also true.
