I went for 5 years being told I was lazy, being told I needed to get a grip. Now finally certain people can see that I have a medical condition and they still don’t care.

It makes me so angry. So, so angry.

I have an under-active thyroid, she has fibromyalgia and she refuses to see that others suffer with health as well as her. She refuses to take her tablets everyday and I force myself to take mine every morning.

Shes giving me grief about not working and she thinks its funny, but I’m at college doing something I love but she refuses to see it makes me happy. She always makes me feel like a bag a crap around other family members, doing it out of spite because she thinks she’s perfect.

If I told her what the doctors said to me, that they stopped counting the anti-bodies because of the high amount, she still wouldn’t care.

If I told her I was heading towards almost putting myself into a coma if I didn’t take myself to the doctors, she’d tell me to get over it.

I just want to hit her.

The saying goes that you don’t choose family.. No.. Because if I could, she definitely wouldn’t be a cousin to me.

It’s not just her though, its everyone else around me. My mum understands and that’s it. No one else seems to care, and it’s tearing me apart knowing how ‘loved’ I am in my family and friends.
