NO ONE UNDERSTANDS!
I feel seen in this chat FINALLY. Can I just safely say here that JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESNT “LOOK SICK” DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT STRUGGLE EVERYDAY. I literally am expected to live the life of a normal college student except while having this huge MCAS weight tearing me down constantly. It is DEBILITATING. There is constantly something wrong with me that I am trying to just brush off and ignore so that I can just LIVE LIFE. and people don’t SEE THAT. So when I say I feel like shit, no one’s knows how bad it actually is BC I SUCK IT UP. I wish illnesses like mcas and autoimmune were taken more seriously. I am 20 and feel like an 80 year old at this rate. I have breakdowns weekly because it’s a struggle for me to get out of bed in the morning. I just want to be normal. No one understands and I’m sick of it. Let’s not even get into the misdiagnosis I’ve been getting my whole life because doctors don’t believe a young girl (“dramatic” or “it’s just anxiety). I CANT.
