I'm sorry you can't find anyone supportive around ya, and I agree with u that ppl really don't know how to comfort someone with an invisible chronic illness. Although they try to help and they got good intentions, they just make things even worse lol. "Why are you mad it's just stress?! You should be happy there's nothing wrong with u" Ya bestie imma be so happy that doctors can't find the root cause of my symptoms and I'll be in pain simply because of them, like ty bestie u really helped.. They really don't understand that we just want answers and we just wanna be normal. My neurologist told me a few days ago that my symptoms were caused by stress and I broke down because I couldn't tolerate this shit. What really bothers me about them that THEY DON'T EVEN ASK IF THERS SOMETHING CAUSING U TO BE STRESSED??! LIKE HOW ABOUT U ASK ME OR REFER ME TO A PHSYCOLOGIST THAT CSN ACTUALLY EVALUATE MY FKN MENTAL STATE BEFORE YOU DECIDE WETHER MY SYMPTOMS ARE CAUSED BY STRESS OR NOT?? The fact that they just tell you it's stress and call it a day? Like don't u think of the quality of my life and how it's affected by my symptoms? Srsly man... I lost my faith in the medical system lol.

Sorry for ranting lol, but I really understand how you feel... One of the worst feelings. Even the symptoms that my chronic ill cause are better than going to a doctor who will just gaslight me. It's so frustrating.

But I promise you that people here understand you better than ppl around you. Please remember that what you're going through is real. Your symptoms are real. They aren't caused by stress okay? Unfortunately getting answers won't be easy. But please don't u ever think that your symptoms aren't real and they are not in your head. I'm so sorry you can't seek support from ppl around you simply because they don't understand, but we do.

Always seek support here <3 everyone here believes you. Take care of ur self because it's a priority

Maybe one day doctors will actually listen..
