Hi Ink
Sept is right
I told only some very close friends who I new would support me, I have been put in the hospital on several occassions and had to make up stories for work why I needed sick leave. One of my co-workers found out and she was no longer my friend.
It is a very scarry thing.At least it is for me. I don't know much about the relationship part as I have been married for 20 yrs, but I even had trouble telling my husband, because I did not want him to feel like he did something wrong.( I was just diognosed with PTSD a few months ago), but the depression and personality disorder I have been diognosed with now for a few years.
The whole thing was scarry to hear and try and deal with.
If you are real serious about this person I might suggest you try and explain that you were in a bad relationship/marriage and that by wearing things that trigger you are not good at this point, but maybe in time that will change.
Wish you the Best
