We’re in pain, we can’t handle much❤️‍🩹

Thanks Christina, such wonderful comments like yours helps me to keep perspective. This illness makes one very vulnerable. Take care.

Christina your over reacting. Do these comments trigger feelings from the past. Perhaps parents who set unrealistic goals. Think about who you are, what you like about yourself. How do the positive people around you view you. Once you form a positive opinion of yourself hold onto this and tell the negative people to f——k off. If your struggling to feel positive about yourself perhaps some counselling. My mother did not relate particularly well to my lovely children. But spoke about other people’s children. I did not like this and I was disappointed, but I had to put this down to her. You support many on this site, make the effort to participate, I think your okay. Take care.

I’m glad to hear others experience this. Not glad that you do, but to know it does happen. I don’t know anyone personally who has fibromyalgia to commiserate with! So it helps to know I’m not just going crazy sometimes. I’ve seen a therapist a handful of times. Sometimes it has helped just to talk out loud but she’s so much younger than me. Like my daughters age. I didn’t find that she has been able to provide any real help. Just not a good fit. Anyway…. So I just search the internet for advice and this site helps! There’s always people who are insensitive and I just have no tolerance for that anymore. Too much going on in our bodies already. Fibromyalgia is such a strange disease! I really appreciate everyone sharing your thoughts and experiences!

I was diagnosed about two years ago. Sometimes a family member will say things, I don’t know if it’s their way of coping now that my life has changed and so it affects our relationship together. Still I don’t have tolerance anymore to just brush or laugh it off. This condition is too debilitating to be made light of!
