Invisible Illness Week

I found this on Youtube for Invisible Illness week, it really sums up how I'm sure a lot of people with chronic/invisible illnesses feel. Especially if you are young.
Do you feel it would be better at times if it was visible, or is it better that you can keep it tucked away?
This also ties in with my earlier post on deciding who, and if you should tell.

    Yes it does get a bit like that sometimes.

    But on the the other hand I found most people were more supportive than the woman in this little script.

    I wear my colon on my sleeve. Some people think it's a bad idea, but my colitis is very much a part of who I am and has played a huge role into molding the adult I've grown into, for better or worse. I'm especially adamant about over-sharing because it's an "invisible illness" and, imo, people need to be more aware of such things.

    I agree Jane Doo, it is a part of who we are. Our expenereinces shape us. If it wasn't an illness and something that makes people just as uncomfortable uncomfortable, say our sexuality- we would still share openly. Why be ashamed? :)
