Yeah, isn't this one of the most hurtful things? When we go through pain or sadness and then somebody doesn't believe us? When I put on my wig and a smile and some make up, I look almost normal. And nobody would believe when I walk out like that, that underneath that is a very ill person who is in a lot of discomfort and pain.
Sometimes the invisible illness makes it hard for people to believe are suffering. The effects of my past for example- to many they are invisible. That doesn't mean that they are not there.
