I'm Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired RANT...you don't look like you're hurting

One thing I've really come to hate hearing from people is "you don't look like you're in pain". Seriously? I want to ask them what would they prefer I look like.  Would they feel better if I were hobbling around, giving in to the pain and crying all the time? I know it wouldn't make me feel better. I've already tried it! 

It's hard sometimes to bite my tongue when I hear this, but I try to remember they don't know what it feels like to be me. They don't know the ups and downs I live with. Each day I try to face my life with a smile and with a good attitude. It makes living with an un-cooperative body tolerable. 

I still don't know how to handle this when I hear it. Those who know me, know what I've been through and the road I've been down. Just because I don't wear my scars for the world to see any more, doesn't mean I still don't hurt every day. I've just chosen to smile through the pain, instead of through the tears.

Take good care of you okay?
