Spouse doesn't understand my pain

I’ve had issues with my mom feeling that way, telling me my meds are “just going to make me sicker,” and that “one day some doctor is actually going to tell you that a magic pill isn’t gonna help and you’re gonna have to work to get better.” She also was super weirded out when she rode in my car and saw my disabled parking placard that I only use on super bad pain days. I just try to avoid talking to her about it all. I don’t think you need to see a psychiatrist to cure your fibro (because that just doesn’t happen!), but I have a therapist for chronic illness support and it’s nice to be able to express my frustrations to a neutral party and get constructive advice on how to mentally cope with being chronically ill

My husband thinks it’s all in my head, and I need to see a psychiatrist

i used to have a gf who was similar i have arthritis and fibromyalgia so i’m always in pain and people i think just get sick of hearing about it or think that you aren’t actually in pain all the time i don’t think that can comprehend that we are truly always in pain which makes it difficult to relate

People have basically told me the same. If they don't have a pain disorder they will never truly understand. Sometimes moving too much triggers my pain.
