You're not moaning BB, I'm enjoying your company.
I was dxd in March 2010 ( i think) and was open about it, in order for me to be ok about it. My family? Extremely invalidating, apparently the dr's were convincing me that something was wrong, and I'm just dandy. There were moments when I thought I got thru to 1 or 2 of them, but alas, seems they just smiled and nodded so I wouldn't 'throw a tantrum'. Btw nobody knows bout my dx's of bpd and ocd. It just didn't seem relevant after the 'welcome' my bp recieved.
I quit meds and T cold turkey in October of last year, and honestly , I can't say I'm worse off...
