Invisible struggles may be the worst kind of struggles. Or if you’re not blending in, people insist that “you should try.” It’s especially hard coming from family members who know you but refuse to acknowledge that you can’t just “”“change your brain”“” and “”“be normal”“”.

This can also apply to invisible illnesses & mental health. Please know that there are people out there who get you. You’re not alone.
