Well, you are suffering, are you not?

Because you can function

That might be so.
>and what I think is wrong might be normal?
I'm not at all sure about the idea of normal per se, and certainly not as defined in the DSM.
Since you want validation for your suffering you search for a name for it, which is entirely understandable.
(That, at any rate, occupied a lot of my therapy....me, trying to explain how bad I felt, as if a label would somehow give me an answer. The people I went to didn't go in for labels, but one did give me drugs I would have been better without.)
