Advice for talking about chronic illnesses
hello.. advice needed
i have been recently diagnosed with autoimmune diseases about 6 months ago, I have told my best friend every thing since the start but now my illness is getting worse and already caused other problems I feel like I cant tell anything because her aunt has MS and she cries a lot because shes loves her ( We are all praying so much ) and I feel bad for whenever I open a health topic because I dont want her to worry and more affected I thought about not telling her anything but she keeps asking I really dont know what to do
how should I talk about it I dont want it to go the wrong way
If anyone needs to talk about problems You can text me. I would like to listen about physicaly disabilities but and other problems are welcome.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in early january after a couple years of trying to figure out what was wrong with me. i still havent told anyone except my family, and i dont know how to talk to my friends about it. every time i try to bring it up im met with something along the lines of being told that everyone is tired/sore and i need to stop complying and over reacting. i honestly dont know how to explain it and im scared that they wont understand. does anyone have any tips on how to tell people about a health issue thats impacting your life? im 18 if that matters. thanks.
