I wish they did understand but they aren't very nice people . I love them but Italian parents are very hard when it comes to this nature
Very tough situation your in, and particularly so when one is not does not have support and understanding at home, and those we love. Life is tough, generally, and particularly so for young people at the moment.
And I think MOST parents these days, do worry about this...So , when we see the young person not taking on the world: well, somebody might send Jordan Peterson! (12 Rules for Life). But sounds like: you worked, studied, and accomplished alot so far. So you need: understanding, moral support.
How might you insinuate a different story to your parents? There has been SO MUCH News, for instance, on recent developments at Stanford, for instance. Every article says: poorly understood, misdiagnosed, missed by doctors...
What if you left an article about it, in large font, lying about on the coffee table? Might they notice? (several, even).
What if you just make calm statements about it to them. As if they are your friends, and your just being real, and yourself, and including them in your thoughts and machinations. " I am continuing to research that I don't feel well, that I may have ME." Just say it. Include them more in: your strategies. I am trying this Today, it is reported to help with X symptom. They see you: trying....
Have they seen the film Unrest? This really woke my husband up. I think it translated things in the body in a way that regular people can better understand. Maybe there is way for them to see that. And it could help you feel better, if your NOT as extreme as that..that is encouraging..so you continue to work on feeling better.
And we are now all feeling better knowing Jen B is feeling better. So they could be included in this shared experience, perhaps somehow.
Its a challenge. Its been placed there in your path. How to engage these people, who love you. But just don't quite understand.
