*CW: Health related/Invalidating (?) 


I was felling not great today to the point I was really nauseous and threw up. Told someone it would take me a minute or two to drive home and they where complaining it was hot and tried to rush me. Got home and said the food they had made had a strong smell (mind you this wasn’t me saying it smelled bad..) and got all defensive and said “You are fine. You are healthy. You are walking aren’t you?” Made me upset I’m not allowed to vent like they where complaining about it being hot out as if I was okay…

I told them strong smells sometimes makes things worse (literally that’s why it’s a little hard to work where I work when I’m having anxiety) and they took offense basically saying “Oh so smells make you feel worse? Really?” (&lt;Irritated tone)
