I'm pretty sure this topic has come up before, but I am getting really fed up with some of my relatives. One in particular (my cousin, who is the same age as me and has just graduated from college and is going to be teaching in the fall) has decided I exaggerate everything, and my issues are not really very bad, and I should stop being so overly dramatic. I am wondering how anyone else managed to talk to their friends/relatives and got them to understand that the pain/issues are real, and that even if you don't look sick, you still are in pain and doing things is difficult. She just doesn't seem to get it, and I don't know what to say to her anymore.
