my mum has fibromyalgia and I struggle with mental illness and dyspraxia. my mum always has risen one up me when I'm having a bad day. like it's obvious when she is faking being I'll because when she is having a bad fibro day, she can't get out of bed, and she's always had to have it worse than me, even before she had fibromyalgia. for example, one day when my anxiety was really bad, I was stuck in my room all day because I was crying and I was too scared to leave my room and someone noticing I was crying. so eventually I got the courage to go talk to her and all she did was complain about how she had it worse and how all teenagers deal with the same thing, basically that I was being dramatic and it didn't matter. anyways, it made my anxiety much worse and I couldn't tell anyone how I felt because I was too scared they'd say the same thing.
