Husband doesn't understand...
Had a mini-breakdown earlier because of pain and fatigue today. Spent 3 hours straight on my feet yesterday and then had to do a lot of walking. Also drove about 100 miles. Anyway, I am paying for it today. Husband tried to comfort me and he is very sweet but he also says things like "it will get easier the more you do it."
No. No it won't. This is my reality. I have degenerative disc disease and a congenital bone defect in my legs in addition to fibro. I already hate myself on the days I cant do the things I need to. I know it doesnt mean it negatively, but I just don't think he truly understands.
How do you get people to understand the realities that you deal with?
Thanks for reading my rant.
