Not taken seriously.

Infertility is not taken seriously enough.

Infertility is brushed aside.
It seems small in comparison to what others are going through. It is not recognized by society as something that should be so debilitating. It is not recognized as a disease, an illness, a medical condition. If anything, it is recognized as a mental state of mind. 

It never feels real.
It feels like what I'm going through is made up.
I'm not in pain.
I function normally.
I am not hospitalized
How can I have such disease with such unrecognizable side effects.

It feels hidden. 
It feels like it should be kept secret.

If you physically feel pain, you know the pain exists.

What does it mean when you feel nothing?
