Name calling and how to respond.
What names have you been called or what have you been told when you have fatigue, want to sleep in, or are too tired to do things that involve exercise?
I’ve been called “lazy” many times when I want to sleep in past 6 am on the weekends and not go to the gym right away (I will get up eventually and go). I’ve been told “you’re always not feeling good” when I state that I don’t want to go for a long run… I feel like I’m letting myself down and letting my boyfriend down? Does anyone have this experience?
You have a legitimate medical reason for being tired. Don’t let others try to decide what you should be doing! Remember you didn’t ask for this so remind the people who bully you of that!
Sorry you went through that. It's like, "Yeah..I don't feel good...when I feel like getting up, I will." That's a non-negotiable for me. The name calling and being made to feel like we are just being lazy adds stress and uninvited angst. I tell them, "WE DO NOT need any of that negativity over here. Miss we with that." Good luck and if you feel like running later, than run. If not, no worries, rest and relax.
