invisibleillnessawareness

This is exactly what I, and countless others, do everyday - we put up a ‘public persona’ to hide what we’re truly going through. We pretend that we aren’t: in #AGONY or #depressed or #exhausted or #anxious . We pretend because we are #scared of how others would treat us if they really know what we were going through. The thing is though, by pretending we are something we’re not, we are giving ourselves more #Stress but also denying someone the opportunity to help us deal with the things that are really going on in our lives.

I have several already worded and ready to go, just don't want to flood your feeds too badly😂😂 so, here's #1 For more, visit the link in my profile or search Written by Dida #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #BrainFog #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #fibrowarriors #invisibleillnesswarrior #invisibleillnessawareness #InvisibleIllnesses #chronicillnesswarrior #fibromyalgiaawareness #Fibromyalgia #MentalHealth
