Vent away!
Sounds like a challenging situation, to put it mildly. I empathize with you, I think.
I am completely broken by my severe anxiety disorder (or whatever the hell I have), but still can be highly expressive, critical, analytical, and seemingly "functional." I believe this irritates my wife greatly as she does not believe I am as disabled as I describe myself being. But I am. It's far worse than she realizes, really.
Interesting that people around you (your townspeople, as you call them) are "angry." That must be particularly irritating and painful. I have felt that way, too--that people think I am getting a "free pass" for not working as hard as they do (or something like that) because of my "anxiety disorder." Like I'm faking it and I want it to be here with me. Like I should not be allowed to be able to live any kind of dignified life if I am truly mentally ill. Right.
