Re: Sick person stigma!       08/15/04 01:28 PM Edit Reply Quote mul132 Reged: 08/04/04 Posts: 218 Loc: Pennsylvania Nel, I have a hard time convincing people I have a digestive problem because I'm overweight. I have some metabolic problems and have been on so many different meds over the years that led to massive weight gain. It was so hard to hang out with my friends since they always had pizza or some other equally unsafe food and they couldn't believe that I was always gaining weight since the only thing I ate in their presence was vegetables. Eating at home was hard too, since my brother still insits that my parents should cook like they normally would even though I can't eat any of it. He complains about suffering just because I'm sick. Somedays I wish he would get some nasty disease just so that he could understand how miserable my life has been for the past five years (I know, not nice, but I can't help feeling the 'why me' syndrome whenever he starts acking like a jerk. Sorry, just needed to complain. You guys are great, I'm so happy I found this site since my parents won't let me complain. They feel that if I keep focusing on my problems I'll never get past them, blah blah blah. Sometimes you just need to vent! Why can't 'normal' people understand that?
