Validated
Alot o disabled f people in chronic pain seek acceptance and understanding . I did in the beginning the explanation of why I am compromised physically people who were close to me deserved a type of explanation or so I thought. I'm not one of those guys who thinks misery loves company I deal with my sickness on my own I did have to see a physicatrist for the Agoraphobia and suicidal ideation.
So you want everyone to know and understand what your going through you want to feel validated But you don't have to. One more person understanding your sickness isn't going to make your sickness any better. That's why we have this forum and we can let it all out with people who are in the same predicament and here we can feel validated without over explaining but again we shouldn't spend time trying to get friends and family to fully understand that way it makes it easier to stand strong alone. Just my take on having a chronic lifetime illness the idea self reliance is huge I lost all my friends and even my friend of 40yrs doesn't feel I deserve to be on disability even after I told him I have late onset Muscular Dystrophy.#OCD #MDD #Anxiety #DDD #Cronic pain#MuscularDystrophy #ChronicIllness
