This. This makes me cry whenever anyone says it because it's so hurtful. When you see me, you're seeing my best efforts to appear normal and healthy. You're seeing days of saved up rest, just so I can spend my valuable energy on spending time with you. You're seeing smiles despite being in agony, chatting and laughter despite my head being in a fog. You're seeing the best I have to offer, the closest I can get to a healthy person. And when you totally invalidate my illness when I have chosen to spend my precious energy on you, it hurts. So just don't, okay?
Rant Over
On a positive note, I managed to have a bath last night which was extremely exhausting but soooo worth it. Keep strong lovely people, peace out <3
