Definitely hitting the peak of the sickness today. I can barely function. So nauseous, nose runny like crazy, whole body aching, excessive yawning, eyes watering. Just want to lay down and die. My mom has no clue how I’m feeling and expects me to just be able to function like normal. How can I explain to her that I can’t??

Tell her the truth. Tell her how you are feeling!
Honesty is always the best policy in my book.

People that have never walked the path we’re on do not always have a good understanding or expectation on how to recover from it… If it were me I’d just say Mama if I ever needed you to trust me that I’m sick it would be now… 
Hope you feel better soon… You will, you just need some rest…

Can you show her anything that she can read to enlighten her. It must be hard for her to understand as she has never been through it herself. Maybe if she read something or take her to an open meeting so she can see other people?
