k well ... this is a lame *** subject really but i was wondering what everyone does ... as far as like telling ur friends and family about whatever disorder is affecting u.

its not that i don't class people on PC as my friends but things are a bit different when it comes to day to day stuff.

I have read about what people do/don't say to their managers at work. That is very useful. I missed most of a week and a half of work recently but I was able to put it down to the flu. Change of season. So that was ok.

But truthfully none of my IRL friends really know that I have whatever it is that i have, that i take dumb meds, etc. I used to share everything with an ex boyfriend but we don't even talk now (he was the one who made me get help in the first place). Another ex of mine is also kinda in the loop, he has been wonderful but he lives a long way away (7 hours drive). And he doesn't know i am taking ADs etc.

I just can't really bring myself to say to my everyday friends that this goes on. Whenever I don't wanna do something and just stay at home I say I have work to do. Because I have a demanding job this is feasible.

I don't really want to let any more slip than I have, my friend Samantha said she could tell I was feeling crappy the other day. I love her to bits but I don't want to say whats going on etc. I have a couple of my best guy friends who just offer cuddles and their company (and a bottle of wine heh) when they see that im not all sparkley. But I don't WANT them to work out im not happy - especially cos I have little reason to be sad.

So my question for you all:

What are some other good, plausible excuses when you don't feel like doing stuff that u have planned etc? Cos apart from work, I seem to be running out of options
