It can be difficult to explain or educate people about invisible conditions. Frequently, those close to you do not take your illness seriously or even remember that you have it. You must deal with the added stress caused by others who do not acknowledge you are unwell because they do not believe you 'look sick', including family, friends, co-workers, teachers, and even medical professionals. One of the biggest challenges which people battle regularly is the common misconceptions that arise because of other people's observations. You must overcome numerous challenging obstacles. People with invisible illnesses frequently have limited power and must be extremely careful in determining what to expend their energy on, even on days when that are not accompanied by pain and chronic exhaustion. An invisible condition might make it difficult for a person to go about their daily activities as they typically would. I constantly remind myself that I'm not the only one.Īny medical illness that is not readily apparent to others, including healthcare experts, is referred to as an 'invisible illness'. I can hear them whispering and gossiping about me, but I just have to continue with my day and not let it get to me. Then there are the oblivious pupils who ask all types of uncomfortable questions. I repeatedly have to justify to teachers why I can’t attend all my lessons or I’m late with homework or I can’t complete an assignment.
The hardest part of living with a chronic condition that I face is school. Every day is a challenge which I have to battle whether it be with my mental or physical health. I suffer from chronic conditions: CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease.
