When I'm talking to a family member, and I'm talking about getting so tired, or my balance being really off, etc... And they say, "Oh yeah, I get that all the time!" I seriously want to scream
Just this morning, in an email to my dad, I was telling him that yesterday was a really "slow thinking" day. I was forgetting what I was saying mid-sentence, couldn't think of words, and it was getting so frustrating trying to get my point across about anything all day. And he replied-and I quote, "I have those foggy days,too. Always have had. I think it has to do with blood sugar." I want to reply, but how? "I'm pretty sure you have no bleeping idea how frustrating this is or what I'm even talking about..." But he would take it wrong, and I would look bad, and whatever... I mean, what do you say? My MIL also says stuff like,
"Oh, I know what you're talking about. I can totally relate-believe me!" Excuse me, what?!
But perhaps I'm setting myself up for that kind of response just by bringing it up. So am I being a jerk when I can't handle their response? If I don't talk about how "things are going with my day" when they ask, I really wouldn't have much to say.
Looks like today is going to be another slow thinking day. This post took me a couple hours to put together lol...
So what do you say? Because I'm sure everybody has to deal with this to some degree.
