I just realized how much the words of others can damage me. Here is what happened in my Zumba class a couple of weeks ago. After class had ended, I was sharing with one of my friends how I felt fatigued and not sure if I needed thyroid medication. I had just been tested and did not have the results yet. My friend said she experienced great benefit from a proper thyroid medication.
Another girl in the class had overhear us and she told me to "just take a pill and get over it." I was shocked to hear her say something so cruel. I didn't even know what dose I would need and if I even were hypothyroid. Those words have haunted me every time I think about my struggle with my thyroid. I am hypothyroid, and I started on a low dose, which improved my energy some. After re-testing it looks like I need a slightly higher dose.
Her cruelty hurt me and I am not eager to go back to that class. I have found alternate ways to get exercise and surround myself with considerate people when ever possible.
