I've only read your first entry here and haven't had a chance to read the responses yet. But, boy, can I relate!!

I've been so hurt by other people's responses that i don't tell anymore (not that I've told many people anyway, about 4 like you). My last friend I tried to talk to said that people would think it's kind of funny that I'm bringing this up now, as if I'm making it up, which of course is my greatest fear.

All I can tell you is that maybe we have to develop a thick skin. People who don't understand aren't a reflection of what we're going through--they are dealing with their own issues and can say the dumbest things.

I'm sorry it hurts, I know it hurts. My T keeps telling me that it's better to get it out, but when you get reactions like this, I really doubt that they are right. They are knowledgeable, yes, but maybe this is when the wheat is separated from the chaff; if you haven't lived through it, it's too difficult to understand.

Try not to feel bad for taking the risk. Center yourself and know that you are who you are, and you are working hard to be better.
best,
antigua
