Hey all, sorry I keep posting with questions, still kind of processing/figuring out things! I saw my therapist this morning and she said something that interested and kind of surprised me when I told her about my diagnosis of fibro. She asked how my boyfriend/friends/family reacted when I told them and I explained that my boyfriend is supportive if I ask him to do something for me but only if I ask and expects me to be positive constantly despite the range of emotions I've been dealing with over the past week (we got in a huge fight over that the other day. My mom told me to stay positive and keep exercising (I thought this was a good response coming from her, in the past she has NOT been supportive), I haven't talked to my dad although I'm sure my mom told him, and my sister basically said "oh" and nothing else. My friends were fairly supportive (the few I told, I was too exhausted to start that conversation with everyone). My therapist thought it was surprising that I had so little support-basically that no one offered to help me by offering to go grocery shopping with me/offering to clean/etc. To give a little perspective, I live with my boyfriend and he does help with some cleaning and occasionally with cooking if I ask him to, and my family/friends all live at least 30 minutes away-so never in my wildest dreams would I expect them to do anything like that for me. Can anyone tell me what kind of reactions they got from people when first diagnosed?
