so very fed up of having to justify my disability - invisible disabilities

Hi I'm disabled but so very fed up of having to justify my disability. I have Sma and Fibromaligha /chronic pain and to look at me I look perfectly well. I get so very down and suffer from depression and anxiety. X x x

I actually wrote a guest post about it before I started working for Scope about there being more then meets the eye.

Good evening & welcome to the "online community"
Yes the "Invisable Disability" is far harder to "Justify" than a "Visable" one.
Folling my Stroke in 1998 everyone keep saying how well I always looked !!!!
I did think about having a tattoo with "STROKE" on the back off my "Head" but at the last minute I had a change of mind as I didn't want people "Stroking my Head"
Please please let let us know if we can help you further ???
