Yesterday I was informed by my family that I should be doing more with my life. My sister told me "not to get offended" but my house was too messy and that I need to get control and clean everything up. I wish that she could understand that I'm doing the best that I can do. It really pissed me off that my family continues to talk about me behind my back and contantly sees the negative. Any Advice?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I actually WANT to clean my room, but I just can't do it and expect to sleep at night. My parents think I can just bear with it, and that's true, but it would mean no sleep, as well as too many pills.
Tell them that what's more important than you doing something, is them getting their heads together and learning how to comfort you, rather than add stress to your already stress-filled life.

They are my family and I love them, but they do the exact same things to me!
They assume my diseases are just a joke and anything that results from me being ill is just a way for me to get out of things!
Mind you, I hardly ever say I feel bad! I do what I can do and still it's never good enough! On the off chance I say I feel bad they tell say something negative about me and my fake disease!
I have NEVER tried to act lazy or anything! I do what I can do! This disease makes it hard to do things! That's not my fault and what I can't do, I have tried to do many times and I just can't do it!
I AM SICK! In their eyes I either need to suck it up or act like an invalid and then that's how real sick people act and thus it's a valid thing! Otherwise, they could give a flip!
Then when they ask how I'm doing, I'm thinking..."I know you really don't wanna know how I'm truly doing! To you guys, it's a big old joke!"
It's exasperating!
Take care,
Stay sane!
And if they still don't get it say "would you insult someone with cancer or who just had a stroke???" why are you insulting me?
EileenG you just keep on living your life and do whatever it is that you do or dont do and just block out the negativety,,you have our support!!

One of my friends told me I should have told her to:'Grab the broom and mop and help me out". I'm sure that would have shut her up real fast!
It's hard not to take it personally...but how do you not become defensive when any conversation begins with: "Don't be offended"...
My thoughts are with you and your family. A great big hug to you.
