I know how it feels when someone finally tells you that you are not
crazy and that you are sick! And especially that everything you've been
going through is suddenly justified. I always felt that I was sick and
not just "Lazy" or "Depressed" but in the back of mind I guess I was
always wondering "What if I am just lazy and depressed?" When I could
put a name to my symptoms it helped me take control alot over how I was
feeling. One of the things that is hardest for me is that when you
don't look sick people don't think that you are sick. It is hard for
them to understand that you're hurting when you don't have a cast or
something that they can visually identify with pain.
