I have a severe physical illness on top of my Asperger's, ADD, depression, anxiety and sleep disorder. It doesn't help, believe me. Those days I'm really suffering I'm told that I'm whining if I mention it. If it shows like my elbow or shoulder lock up or if I'm dead pale from anemia or if I can't breathe normally, people don't see that. If they do, they make it a joke. So naturally I try to appear fine because if I don't, I get harassed. They will just find a new way of harassing you.
Now they might think you look fine. I've been told that to death, by coworkers, family, friends and even doctors. The problem is adding a physical illness they will still think you look fine.
I might die and I get it a lot from people that I'm just lazying around at home.... It's not you it's not me it's those brainless zombies out there that are unable to learn or empathize.
