just other people treating you like your making it up or making out its worse than what it is I really struggle with my mental health and really need to talk but don't feel like I can coz I will get eyes rolling or its a woman thing

I know how you feel. People just don't understand. I feel so useless all the time as doing the simplest of things is so much hard work for me. This is why groups like this are so important. It's so nice being able to talk to people who understand. Take care. Sending big hugs xx

I feel exactly the same. I struggle with depression and have done for years and now the pain is at its worst so is my depression. I feel people think I'm making a show of it. I often burst into tears cause the pain is so bad and I just can't help it. I see the way my female colleges look at me like I'm just over exaggerating, most of the managers think I should just be able to get on with my physical job and forget about it. The worst for me though is the pressure its putting on my relationships with my family as I don't have the energy to go out and visit them often and my poor boyfriend who is like my personal slave when I'm in severe pain and have no energy.

If you don't want to talk to you're gp coming on here is always a good way to talk things out with other women who know how you're feeling but I found my gp very good, I have been to see a counselor and am on antidepresants now which was a last resort but has really helped.

My advice would be to see your gp and don't be ashamed or embarrassed at all. You will not be the first or last. I hope things start to get better fpr you soon xx
