True empathy is HARD WORK. It has nothing to do with what people think is empathy.

I also live with people who over and over forget I am ill. Why am I resting? Why am I SO BORING? I look OK so why can't I keep up? Why can't I do everything they put on me to do since "I'm home all day anyway"?

I sort of realized the only person who will support me is me. I guess I can live with that. I'm not perfect, if I was I'd be healthy. They are not perfect either, I just have to understand that and not ask things of them that are impossible.
