“It’s so easy to feel alone…I know I am not…there are millions…fighting the same fight. Fighting to be heard, fighting to be understood, fighting to be believed… Lately, I have felt drawn to lighthouses… Beacons of light in the darkness.” https://t.co/w1JesZUti7 @OSufferer
“Nobody knows what it takes for someone to get out of bed in the morning and function… Nobody fakes being unwell or #disabled… Be kind. Don’t be so quick to judge.” We Don’t Fake Being Sick, We Fake Being Well https://t.co/X0lxnpbd25 @OSufferer#ChronicPain#ChronicIllness
“The real me lost in the fog of #chronicillness. All they could feel was pity, all they could do was judge. I was still me. I just got ill… I didn’t cause it, I can’t cure it. I didn’t change. My health changed.” https://t.co/Sr4Lo5vxnC @Osufferer#pwME#Fibromyalgia#FND
“It is ironic that since I became unwell with two invisible illnesses I have almost become invisible myself. Slowly, bit by bit… It is almost as painful as suffering from the constant pain from #Fibromyalgia.” https://t.co/b40rJfvKjP @Osufferer#chronicillness#disabilities

Even though I’m very open about my struggles with my chronic illnesses, there’s still a lot that people don’t see or don’t know about it. We all “mask” it to some level because we can’t just run around screaming and crying because of our pain and suffering. But just know that that’s how we often feel inside. And if we’re willing to tell you/show you how bad it really is then it’s probably BAD.
