Thank you and yes your list is very similar to mine 💜 fibromyalgia also now a possibility. I find myself going round in circles trying to figure it out and probably making it worse. Absolutely agree with that desire and almost compulsion to tell people I'm okay when I'm really not. I cherish the people I can be fully honest with. Sending love x
Oh yes! Knowing which thing it was that really broke your body, I feel that! My list is similar! Glandular fever X2 then ME for a long time, more recently COVID, long COVID & fibromyalgia. Finding how to balance both wolves I really get, I think toxic positivity can do a lot of harm too. Always wanting to say I'm a bit better because that's what people want to hear even if it's not true. I've stopped doing that recently! I find comfort in finding other people with the same experiences, I can see how hard it is for them and I don't judge or feel they're not trying hard enough etc so then it is easier to feel that for myself. You are definitely not alone! X
