Today, my sister compared me handling the news of recently being told that I have a devastating and very possibly fatal autoimmune disease, to that of a teenager being melodramatic. FML

Today, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. My parents seemed very sympathetic and my mother even cried. When we got home, though, they started laughing and asked if I really believed all the shit the doctor was talking about. FML

Today, my aunt informed me that she thinks I'm faking the debilitating disease I've had for the past 13 years. Apparently she thinks I just don't want to go to college or get a job, and that I like living on disability. She also added that my entire extended family agrees with her. FML

Today, my dad stood by and nodded in agreement as my sister told me that my clinical depression is "getting REALLY old." FML

Today, I was telling my sister about how I am horribly depressed and how I can't function and she responded with, "Oh, shit! I've got to go Jeopardy is on!" FML

Today, I learned I'm one of the biggest contributors to my sister's severe body issues and eating disorder. Apparently, my constantly making jokes about her having a giant butt wasn't just harmless teasing after all. FML

My family blows

By Anonymous - 07/06/2024 16:00 - United States - Colorado Springs

Today, I'm incredibly sick. I can't breathe, can't walk ten steps without falling, and no one believes me. My mom just sat next to me and said, "Honey, isn't this all a bit much? Quit being dramatic, because I can't believe this." When I asked why I would fake this, my sister yelled, "Guess you can't go shopping!" I'd want to. FML

Narcissistic parents

By wendy - 01/04/2021 10:59

Today, my mom told an entire room full of people about the time I almost died from severe diarrhea as a toddler. When I told her that it was embarrassing, she simply told me to “grow up”. FML

Today, we got a letter regarding my sister's college career and an appointment she was required to go to. This seems fitting, since she's a senior in high school, or at least she would be if she hadn't passed away a little over a year ago. FML

Entitled to personal attacks

By Fuck you asshole! - 17/08/2024 21:00 - United States - Anaheim

Today, I was told that I was an “entitled snowflake.” I'd mentioned that after 5+ years of cancer treatment and over a dozen surgeries, I still have some physical limitations. I literally almost died but still managed to finish school and change careers, but yeah, I’m entitled. FML

Today, my mother told my little sister and me that she has breast cancer to make us feel sorry so that we would clean our rooms. She is perfectly fine. My little sister still thinks that "mommy is going to die". FML

My brother has ALPS (autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome). It's super rare and has a high fatality rate but as he got older, his body fought it off. Now he's healthy as a horse. Don't give up!

That's not easy to hear, especially from someone close. I hope you are going to be ok, OP and that you receive some better support.

yeah, because having a potentially fatal disease while youre young is so much better than losing your memory at an old age...

Alzheimer's? Terrible. Autoimmune disorders? terrible. comparing the two is stupid. its like going up to someone and saying "yeah you're paralyzed from the waist down but hey- you're not paralyzed completely!

Not to be a dick, but I hope they arn't. It's better to know the immune disorder, than to misdiagnose and treat the wrong illness, and it being fatal.

Sounds exactly like something my sister would say. Sorry for your bad news, I'm sure if she had the same problem, she'd be acting the same way.

Maybe her way of coping is to crack jokes. Hang in there OP I'm sure she'll be by your side

That's fine if you're cracking jokes at your own expense to cope, but you don't do that for other people's issues. You can cause a lot of harm that way. Not everyone can see the humor in such a serious situation and it won't be helpful for them to hear it.
