This honestly reminded me of my experiences as a person with severe anxiety. I know that isn’t fibromyalgia, but geez. The echoes of things I hear (“it’s all in your head” — duh it is that’s how mental issues work) and “have you tried thinking more positively?” and my favorite, “you just need to face your fears!” make me cringe imagining anyone experiencing anything similar. Although I already know they do.
I wish I had something more interesting or constructive to say, but my thought process veered strongly toward “ugh, I know right?”
