I have a really good therapist and I get an hour a week to just talk about me. Family and friends just want to fix me and don't know how bad it is. You might not want to see a therapist but it's important that you find someone to listen to you without judgement.sending you gental hugs

You always have someone to talk to. We are all dealing with the same issues or at.least the fibro issues. If you can't find anyone to talk to who understands then by all means please talk to us. You can get someone's email or fb to message us individually if that would be easier to talk then to talk to everyone at once. We all understand this horrible disease more than even doctors do. Don't ever feel like your alone. We are.here for you. Hugs

Therapy helps a great deal with handling things like this. I think with fibromyalgia, mental health is just as important as your physical. For me, sometimes it's more than.

Tbh once you have a diagnosis you are on the start of the journey and you have to come to terms with the diagnosis. Almost like grief. You go through stages and I do find my mental health does impact the fibro and the other way round. People don't always understand as generally we don't look ill but it has a major impact on our lives. Talking about how it impacts us is really important but that means finding the right person. Good luck.

Hi Sue,
Talking to a psychologist has definitely helped me. I would recommend it.
