Hi guys, I am the only one in my whole family and friendship group to be diagnosed with a condition that is long term/degenerative, and I'm really struggling with support from them. I don't have any physical/physiological symptoms as of yet (thank God) but I struggle a lot with fatigue. I am sleepy all of the time, and then I will have sudden bouts of insomnia where I don't sleep for nearly 3 days and then I crash again. I find people are getting very annoyed with me when I agree to plans and have to cancel at the last minute because I am so tired that I'm sleeping for 16 hours of the day. I am aware it isn't their fault that they don't understand, because why would they? But at the same time it's very difficult when I am trying to explain how I feel and they just brush it off as if it isn't important or something I can "get over". Has anyone else struggled with this?
