I may be blessed to have what I have but dont assume that I dont suffer because you cant see it. Dont assume that my pain isnt valid because I dont suffer as a homeless person or a person with cancer does. I try to be strong and I try to be happy but when my brain is constantly against me, it gets to be difficult to try and put on a front 24/7. I just want people to understand that illnesses, physical and mental, are highly individualized. What may work for somebody in treating an illness may not work for somebody else. What may help as a coping skill for you may not work for 20,000 others. While you may share a label for an illness with somebody else I can guarantee that your symptoms, pain and suffering will never match 100% with another human being. Everybodys story is unique. Everybody deals with things differently. So next time you think about saying, It could be worse or Just get over it, remember that everybodys pain is unique to them and you cant expect everybody else to see the light shining through the darkness just because you can.
