While I don't have an invisible illness, I know the pain that comes from seeming invisible in a room - or in a friendship. And it is truly painful. But, I'm thankful to know that pain because it pushes me to go out of my own comfort zone and try to reach out to others more - and make them feel seen and heard and noticed.

It is hard for people who don't suffer from an invisible illness to understand. Thank you for this post. It reminds me that I am not alone in my struggles.

Once again you are doing incredible work in the world by sharing your experiences and what you have learned about it along the way. And I too had never heard of Invisible Illness Awareness Week but now, thanks to you, I do. That is the simply amazing thing about the internet for letting us share our thoughts, ideas and experiences so that we, and others, never have to be invisible. Thank you again for all you do. ~Kathy

I work in health care and am always struck by the difference between patients who LIVE with and illness and those who BECOME an illness. The former group thrives, and the latter group dives into a life of being a victim. You are a thriver!

I have an invisible, and I'm not dealing with it as well as you are. Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm going to pass your encouraging post along to them. Thanks! -Veronica

I am so glad that you are out there bringing awareness to the "invisible illness" in the world. I had no idea that there was an "INVISIBLE AWARENESS WEEK", but thanks to you I do now. I have to get something written. Thanks for all you do dear friend.
