I have found that recently I am avoiding my friends and family more and more. It is not really fair to them but I feel like I am no fun anymore and it takes so much energy to try and be in the moment with them.
There have been days when I have people over and the next day I am exhausted. Why can I not just be the girl I was 10 years ago before I the pain was quite so bad? And why can't my husband understand that when I am not feeling 100% I really don't need to have to do everything for him?
The worst is work. I have to be "on" for 8-9 hours straight on a concrete/tile floor. My personal opinion is that it would be nice if someone acknowledged how hard I work while having pain, aches, and migraines. Those of us that do it deserve a pat on the back because it is so hard to not give in.
On a positive note I have found that I have met some great people by being open about the fibro and the migraines and willing to befriend others with diagnosis that cause them to be wounded. It can be physical, mental, or emotional we are all fighting our own battles and willing to help support each other.

I know how you feel about friends and family. I usually need a day to recover after just seeing people, and that makes me feel so abnormal. You definitely deserve a pat on the back for working so hard. I could never do it. It's great that you are opening up about your struggles, I've found that helps a lot!
