How do you explain HELLP?

[megansmom]

I have talked to a couple of people about it since I have found out that I did indeed have HELLP. I have not yet found the right words to express what HELLP really is and what it does to you. Mainly because I still don't know much about it myself. How do you explain it to someone who has no clue?
