I am really fucked off.
I've had hyperemesis more or less since day 1 of this pregnancy. Been in and out of hospital. Ripped a muscle in my face being sick so have to see a neurologist for that.
I've got a friend who is a drama queen to say the least. She loves a crisis. I've been off work for weeks- months now- because I've been so ill and she keeps asking me when I'm going back (I don't know why she cares so much. She doesn't work with me or anything.)
Anyway lately I've been getting the feeling that- basically- she's a bit fed up with me being ill and she keeps suggesting I "should be feeling better now" (I'm almost 20 weeks). And today I've had it confirmed by a mutual friend that she thinks I'm putting it on due to "depression or maybe munchausens syndrome"!!!! WTF?! The friend who let this slip wasn't stirring it- she was very reticent to tell me, it came up because I said that the other friend was being unsympathetic.
I want to go and punch her in the mouth frankly but am restraining myself. Am I being out of order? I feel really deflated that I'm suffering damnations here and if she's saying it (known her for almost 20 years- good friends I thought) probably everyone else is?
Sorry about possible misspellings of both hyperemesis and munchausens! Am on phone and it doesn't have a clue for either
