Some will tell you to “get yourself together.” Others will dole out advice. A few will pretend like it doesn’t matter.
They can ignore it and try to talk it away, but your illness is real. What they have the luxury of imagining doesn’t exist is your day to day.
Don’t let their disbelief and discomfort become your suffering.
