We’re used to being told we’re just being overdramatic when we talk about illnesses — in fact, many women never even speak up about their pain for fear of being labeled a drama queen. Clearly, we’re all a little too used to downplaying pain. Here are nine female celebrities who are speaking out about their invisible illnesses: “I had a guy at my label say to me, ‘You have to bleed for this, Ashley,’” she recalled....

You don’t realize it, either, until you’re in the middle of them, until your soul’s being sucked out by the tiny toddler at your side, the one looking at you with wide eyes saying, “More, Mama? More?” and you ever-so-slightly want to run away to Vegas and start a second career as a blackjack dealer because this is your life now....
