Opening up to people about your condition can go two ways. You can feel supported and listened to or you can have eyes rolled…
I consider myself as quite a positive person and tried to be positive around people and not shown how much I’m hurting inside. I would only see people when I’m feeling this way. Over the epidemic however, I’ve seen people a lot more so its hard to hide this condition. There comes a point when they see all sides and you get the feeling that there is definitely a side they don’t like and you can feel it wholeheartedly.
Feeling like this is not by choice… I can wake up feeling extremely happy and not a care in the world… other times its like I just want to hide and do nothing and to be honest be dead.
Trying to be positive when feeling like this when you have a child who feels like this is hard. I feel exhausted and wouldn’t wish this on anyone!
