That you are having a rough time does not mean everyone you meet must suffer from it. It is a matured person who will make the effort to maintain their attitude even in the face of great temptations.
Do you have a friend going through a rough time, a family member in distress or suffering from an invisible illness? And this person chooses to confide in you? You are so scared of doing or saying the wrong thing or adding more to the person’s problem. Relax!

It is even harder because you can‘t see what is wrong. I know. There is no broken arms, head in bandages, swollen eyes, or legs covered in stitches for you to see and be reminded of the discomfort the person must be in. All you see is someone who looks perfectly normal but refusing to do normal things. It goes way beyond that, trust me.

Anybody who has ever tried to write, work, or complete any project when they are extremely tired will have an idea of what I am talking about.

My self- confidence benefited a lot as I see my progress. A reminder that I am not doing too badly. I have seen improvements in my self-esteem and self-worth. And people’s negative opinions don’t affect me as much as before. I also criticize myself less. Because I know that despite my challenges I am not totally useless.

I am a fibromyalgia Warrior, that means I live with constant pain and it’s associated problems. I am not going to explain anymore why I can’t do some activities. I am tired of explaining myself out of guilt to people who refused to understand.
