Hello Kristen, I’m so tired of explaining my fibromyalgia to people who don’t understand everything about my daily pain and suffering it’s beyond exhausting to explain anymore 😢a friend told me that it might be all in my head and I should just move past it and I decided not to try explaining it anymore and stay away from toxic people because it hurts my feelings and makes me feel worse. ❤
I am so sorry to hear that you have had people in your life accuse you of making it up or saying it's all in your head. I know how absolutely devastating that was for me when I experienced it. Yes, I would definitely recommend trying to stay away from toxic people, if they can't have empathy and find ways to support you they should not have a leading role in your life. That can definitely be easier said than done, especially if it is family. But I would just try to figure out what healthy borders you can put up for yourself to protect your mental health. Like you said dealing with chronic pain is already so exhausting, so the best we can do is to protect our energy from people who aren't there to love and support us! Thank you for watching my video, I am sending love and strength your way!
I have depression and anxiety and others
Dealing with depression and anxiety is not fun, but sending love and strength your way!! "And the sun will rise"
@@kristen_clark_ thank you to know your going through this I don’t feel alone anymore
That means so much to me! I am working on posting more videos soon, I want to keep providing and growing a community of people who can relate and support each other!
