I am choosing to keep it to myself except for those who are allies about this whole thing. My mother is one of the worst ...telling me "you don't want to have THAT on your record"...like it's going to make me look bad for the rest of my life...rather than allow me the relief to care for myself and this disease properly. I have decided to finally admit i have a serious enough disease that it requires special attention and action...I have to treat myself more gently and carefully, instead of staying in denial and making it worse...
