Angry Tired Of Explaining The Same Things

OK....so I've seen a few rants here today so I'm going to add mine.

How many freakin' times do we have to explain to our family/friends that the heat affects us negatively. We're not trying to get out of doing things.

I am so tired of hearing "Oh, come on and go shopping with me. The Mall is air conditioned." Yeah, I think, and about a million miles of walking will just do me so much good. Not to mention the 150 degree car I'll be getting back into.

And this one....."well, your medication must not be working if you can't tolerate the heat. Napping for 4-5 hours a day isn't normal....maybe you need to try another medication." This one was from my sister.....

I'm so tired of explaining to others why I am the way I am. I've just gotten to the point of not even trying to justify my reasons. Sometimes I don't even reply to their comments. My sister thinks I'm exaggerating things sometimes - at least that's the impression I get.

Sometimes I just feel like if I have to explain myself to one more person I just might explode!!
