My mom has made it pretty clear that whenever I talk about my Fibromyalgia symptoms, I am just hyperfocusing on myself -- ie - being selfish. So, I have decided to just keep it to myself. Hello to the isolating effects of Fibromyalgia!
She comes from a family history of denial & the old German way of her family that if you ignore something or be stoic about it, it will go away. I'm sure that mindset helped my family get through trying times in years past, but it does make me mad -- I think because I feel like, if you can't talk to your own mother about something, who CAN you talk to? It's frustrating.
