Were you ever told you that you were exaggerating when you were discussing your problems?

Not sure if anyone has experienced this, but personally I’ve been accused of exaggerating or overreacting to a problem that seems justified in my view. I think people don’t pay attention to the whole story and make assumptions about a certain background as if it is normal. Unfortunately they cannot speak for all of us as one’s experience may completely differ from another’s.

I ain’t got much else to say, so I’ll just leave it here.

  • I was forever told I was 'making it up' when I was diagnosed as having Elhers Danlos syndrome at 30yrs old. 

    Once broke my foot and once broke my ankle and told "oh it can't hurt that much" then walked on it for days.
