One Does Not Simply

I have a chronic invisible illness, everyone always says I can't be sick, you look fine..... I know I shared my dads brain injury with you....

My heart is with ya sweetie, truly! I'm actually involved with a group on Facebook called You Look So Good, How Can You Still Be Sick? (or close to that) It's about that exact issue. People just don't respect or relate to people with hidden injuries or invisible illnesses. They just don't! I totally do.

I have just told my best bestest girlfriend today that I probably will not get better, but worse as I age.... She was like really?

Typical! And she's your best friend, she should know about you a bit. sounds like she wasn't paying attention to you at all.
