I struggle with fibromyalgia for years but strangely it has drastically reduced in the past few years - I know it has a psychological component - now I think it is due to all the pain and grief my body stored - it came out as fibromyalgia and depression - there is no my pain is bigger than yours - this hierarchy of emotion thing is toxic and minimizing - I recently went through one such unwarranted comment from someone who told me to forget about the past and be present

Very rude and offending comment imo - the irony is this person is from my support group and we are all there because we struggle with letting go of our pasts
