#internalilness

internal illnesses are very real and they don't get enough recognition or support. there's people out there with chronic illness such as fibromyalgia or even thyroid diseases (suprisingly more common than one would think). and when these people that have these chronic diseases or illnesses because others can't see the pain they're going through they dub with with a mental issue or that they're making it up. fibromyalgia has been around as long as people and many doctors still don't believe it's real. it makes me sick to my stomach to see these people with diseases and illnesses get called lazy because they can't get up out of bed on time even though they slept 8+ hours , their body is still tired and their brain is telling them they can't get up and go. or if they can't work 8 hours without a small break or if they need to eat something in between their duties. it's because their bodies are diminishing itself and their bodies are tearing their immune system apart . because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not real
