A friend who has been dealing with achronic illness thanked me for being open and honest about my fibro, because it helped her navigate her own symptoms and chronic pain path.
That alone is worth enduring the "Ugh, why are you so negative?" msgs I get when I post about fibro.

Whenever I post about having a flare-up, some bright spark invariably messages me to complain that I& #39;m being too negative, that I need to focus on Being Better or some shit.
And, y& #39;know? Fuck that. You don& #39;t want positivity. You just want to ignore people who are in pain.

Toxic positivity, that& #39;s the phrase. Fuck it.
