I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since 16 and hashimotos since 24 yet everyone still just considers me lazy. I feel guilty for taking breaks and start to internalize that I'm lazy. Everyone makes living seem so easy but I struggle to wake up everyday. I'm constantly exhausted. Even other people with the condition have told me they have no symptoms and it's just in my head lol. I feel like I get a few days out of the month where I feel decent in terms of energy and mood but otherwise I'm constantly tired and/or in pain. I work 4-6 days a week, back in school (college) full time, and I'm a single mom of a toddler who isn't in daycare yet. I'm doing the best I can but still drowning. Every luteal phase I have to take a nap while I'm watching my toddler. I feel horrible that he probably will grow up to see me as lazy just like everyone else too. I'm just feeling so exhausted emotionally on top of physically lately. I don't like my endo but I can't afford a better one. They're like "oh sorry you're still exhausted after med increase, that sucks oh well that's hashis".

Can anyone relate? Advice?
