When people ask how I'm feeling I get fed up with saying things like "awful", "I'm in a lot of pain" etc. How do I reply, letting them know how bad I feel but not sounding like I'm being negative? Although it's hard not to be when you feel like this.
If you're going to mention "positive thinking" – think again and go away
You're right Alabama, no-one does understand but it's not necessarily their fault
