I also know EXACTLY what you all are talking about
been there, done that

However, I don't think people try to hurt us emotionally on purpose. They just don't know what we are going through and they think that we are imagining at least half of our symptoms.

I get lots of "oh come on, get there faster" or "i know, it's all in your head, just don't think about it" or "you are just weak, if I were you..." or even "stop imagining your symptoms" and stuff like that, the list goes on.

All this stuff used to get me really mad , but then I realized that I cannot expect people to understand - they don't. If you've never been there, you have no idea how it feels to be there. And lots of people tend to think extremely high of themselves. That's where "if I were you..." comes from.

So, what all of my concussions have taught me is not to judge anybody. I can't wish this on people. So, why judge them for not understanding? I hope, that all makes sense... and, please, don't judge me - it's just my opinion...
