Yeah, I like physical illness, even injury, because it feels so legitimate. I feel like others understand and accept it. It's so much easier than being horribly sick with something no one can "see" and many people think you're just imagining. I have a very hard time with stigma and judgment. Hopefully I'll get over it someday, but right now I feel so guilty and insecure about my illness.
Today was very rough in the morning, but the extra Seroquel worked wonders, and the rest of the day has been much better.
