CFS/ME
and FMS
are ‘invisible’ illnesses. You
may not be in a wheelchair, or have a visible
indication that suggests that you really
are disabled.
And
because people can’t ‘see’
your disability, many people can’t
understand it...
...or
even refuse to ackowledge that you
are indeed suffering from a very
real and serious condition.
Unfortunately,
many ME/CFS and FMS sufferers face scepticism,
intolerance, and resentment from
friends and family because of this.
In
fact...
...you’d
be lucky if you didn’t experience
it in some shape or form during the course
of your illness.
“Living
with any illness can strengthen
the inner resources and lead sufferers
to be less dependent on the opinions
and approval of others.”
-- Dr
Anne MacIntyre, ‘M.E.’,
p.180 -- |
The
negative reactions from those you would
have hoped would have understood can have
a real negative impact on your morale.
So,
problems with family and friends can be
a real contributing factor to your depression
as a CFS or FMS sufferer.
Thankfully
much of the intolerance, resentment and
scepticism are borne out of ignorance.
Remember...
...they can’t see your disability,
so it's harder for outsiders to understand.
Only
you know how your body feels. So
it’s up to you to help them
understand.
Try
sitting them down and explaining to them
what it’s like to suffer from CFS/FMS.
