X> When the illness is invisible....."But you look so good!" ... "Sometimes We Want to Appear Normal" ... "Sometimes We Want People to Acknowledge the Pain" ... "For those who experience them, their whole world comes to a halt until the pain subsides. There is a constant struggle to try to have people know what we are going through, without seeming to search for sympathy and pity." ... "We want People to Assume it's Just as Bad as it is, but No Worse than it Is" ... "The Need to Feel Validated" ... "What to do?"
