That's what my [F30] bf's coworker said in response to hearing about my condition. I work as a server between 25-30 hours a week, but im also a mom to a son who does sports 3x a week and I go to school. So I am tired a lot of times when I get home, and I can either cook or do housework, not both. He said if im only working 25 hours, I should be doing 15 hours of Housework a week, not including taking care of my kid.

It feels discouraging because I really feel like people dont understand what it feels like to only have so much energy, and when I expend it at my physical job, running around for my son, and doing school work, im tired. But instead, im seen as lazy and I need to just suck it up and do something. It hurts ngl because I really am trying my best. :(

Edit: I just want to thank everyone who took the time to comment on this. Ive been feeling so alone and useless, but yall really did help me feel better about this. I shouldnt care what he said, but I was at work, working a double during a flare up, and it was getting to me. Thank yall again, so much
