The Struggle is Real. Fibromyalgia Is a Very Real Disease
What does being anxious or depressed have to do with fibromyalgia?
Patients often shuffle from doctor to doctor looking for an explanation for their pain. They have had no luck with x-rays, blood tests, or any other test.
At the same time, they must listen to people telling them how good they look.
They can’t see the pain you are feeling and have doubts that you are suffering.
Realizing that your pain isn’t just physical is depressing (no pun intended) but seeking the help of a mental health professional may be the treatment you need. Talk openly about your experience with fibromyalgia and let your therapist know that you physically hurt. They can help you change your attitude on life, which could be beneficial if nothing else.
