It’s Melissa. I am so angry and frustrated. We were talking to Greg yesterday, and he said what if it’s mind over matter about our medical conditions. It’s not mind over matter! We have legitimate medical conditions but the problem is they are invisible! When will people get it question we live with pain every damn day! No matter what we do, there is no cure for our conditions. No, they are not terminal, but they might as well be! No one can truly understand what we are going through physically unless they’ve been through it themselves, and quite frankly, I wouldn’t wish any of these conditions on anyone, not even my worst enemy! And that’s saying something. Why is life so unfair! And I was just thinking the other day, what are people that knew us from before going to say when we get our wheelchair? They already think we don’t need a personal assistant. We hate invisible illnesses? We hate having them and the judgment of others! Sometimes, I just want to break things! I’m just so angry!

How cool you can come out to express the unfairness of life. It’s healthy to express your anger and frustration!

Ugh it is frustrating! We’ve dealt with invisible & mental illness our whole life and people just don’t get it or aren’t willing to understand. We got diagnosed with cancer recently and suddenly everyone is sympathetic and kind and dropping off casseroles. It’s nice and all but the stark difference in the lack of stigma frustrates me so much! Where are the casseroles for mental or invisible illness? ((Hugs)) to you.
