Bulldog2, I feel your pain. I know the situation. You have got to make the call: Do you want to risk your friends knowing about it or do you want to take a chance of feeling better? In my own experiences, with the exception of girls I am trying to court, if I start talking about my issues my friends usually either (1) dont believe it and act if they didn't hear anything and (2) listen with great understanding and then start pouring out their own issues, which seem to be more complex than mine.
There are a couple of ways you can get around it when over at friends. 1, tell them you are allergic to cheese, just found out, causes you acid reflux. 2, just tell them you are trying to eat healthier because of diabetes or cholesterol fear, per doctors orders.
> BULLDOG2 SAID: I haven't made up my mind yet because of the dietary restrictions. As I've said before I would be fine at home as I eat very simply. However I eat over at friends and family quite a bit. I would hate to start grilling them about wether they used soy or cheese or any forbidden foods in what they made. Really don't want to start telling people about depression or meds for that. Some people act like your damaged goods or stay away from you once you tell them you have an emotional disorder.
