My experience with my fibromyalgia and have my then friend circle treated me has scarred me for life so much so that I've become very private about my health issues (except when I blog) - I am a sensitive person and to be called lazy, or suffering chronic pain from a lack of movement/exercise and thinking I'm making it up were just some of the few things I've heard - it doesn't matter that the same ppl have no qualms about shouting their ailments from the rooftops whenever they get sick - the diff is their ailment is visible or shows up on a test result

As you can see, this was a trigger for me - I accept who I am but the thing is people have a hard time accepting what they can't understand or see with their eyes
