Do you share your health conditions to your love ones or keep that to yourself?

[kitty71]

Reagrdless if it is risky, dangerous or harmless or is something you keep to yourself?

I heard there are people who do not like to share because they dont want others to worry or they dont want others to hassle and bother you with non stop questions and questions.

I have a married sister who get upset when I or my brother or my mom dont share with her if we have a a flu, stomach ache or other thing that may not be harmful or very risky for instance or if my mom goes to a doctro appointment because her ankle hurts and she just need an injection that is all.

Because each time we share that my sister starts her non stop questions here questions there instead of helping, she bothers. My sister is the type of person who is a bit nosey the reason I dont share with her many things health related or not.

I know there are people who simply do not like to share, if what they have is harmless or nothing to really worry about. Im like that I dont like to share some things to my sister but she gets upset I dont share and she told me if she asks is ebcause she cares for all of us and worry.

Last week I was with a cold but I did not have fever, sore throat, cough just some body uncomfort that was all and my sister was very worried becausae she also had a cold but she recover fast. So she ask for 6 days in a row how was I, and I never replied to her cause I was fine but since she did not know I was fine she ask twice for 6 days.

If I have a cold or something not so concerning, no. If it was something more serious--then I may or may not mention it to them, but normally I do tell my children and siblings. It also depends on my getting more information on what it is. For example, I was found to have osteopenia, but I can slow it down so that it doesn't progress into osteoporosis.

Your sister sounds like she does worry too much, and to ask 6 days in a row how you were for what sounds like a cold, is too much. I don't blame you for not answering her.

I don't hide it. But I just find it easier not to make it public knowledge whenever possible. For one thing I developed health issues 2 years. Ago. People are supportive when they find out. But then they get mad at you when you're not getting better on thier timeline. I don't think it's malicious on thier part I just think they don't know what to say when you're not improving. And they may on some level resent that you're bad news is bringing them down. I love my sister. We gather at her house every holiday. But for 2 years. I was progressing very slowly. I could go over to her house but I had to keep leaving early because I'd get too fatigued. And she'd get mad at me because of it, as though I was somehow doing it intentionally. I think she was just frustrated by it. Which I told her a couple times. You have do deal with seeing it a couple hrs. I have to deal with feeling it 24/7. So I do my best to hide any weakness whereever possible.

I make sure my family, friends and colleagues are aware of any health issues I might have; I have a few that might be of concern.

[Agape93]

Depends. But usually I'll share it with certain people. Sometimes I keep it to myself.

[kitty71]

So u alsokeep it to yourself somtimes for instance like a common cold or a muscle pain

[Agape93]

That and emotional pain. What little I do mention, is usually muffled compared to how i actually feel. Most don't care, half the ones who say they do are lying, and the rest can't help me, so there's no point.

[shoujogal]

I mostly say to my mama everytime if i feel pain and sickness, she's there to listen! 😘
