I never look as bad as I feel. So I don't really say much anymore as no one will believe me and I can't stand having people thinking I'm lying. Walking with people is a fricken nightmare, they will just run off and not care I can't keep up. I've realized no one will ever think of me as anything than lazy.
Cuz you don't LOOK sick.
It doesn't seem to matter that I have it black on white that I have a quite severe illness. I don't look the right kind of sick.
Even when people notice, weird comments like You look pale you'd look so much healthier if you stayed in the sun more.
Yea thanx. I just told you I have severe anemia and also my illness gets triggered by sunlight.
I realized it is better they think I'm healthy and lazy and when they get some trivial cold or headache that I just pretend to feel for them. A lot of people seem to have very limited understanding. I have to accept that or go crazier.
And try to limit the chores they put on me because "I'm home all day anyway". Yea, because I'm disabled but... I realized that never sinks in so I have to use other means to say no.
