I have caught my symptoms very early so it has not gotten to the point of affecting my work, has effected my home to some degree because I was flipping out on my husband and kids way to easy. I guess one of the hardest things is now I feel like I have this big secret from everyone...
Well that's sorta my story, If you have questions you can ask as I hope I can pick other peoples brains in return.

Hi Steph,
Welcome to the group....I'm new too.
I'm glad you caught the BP early. You don't have to tell anyone you have it. It's up to you. It's your private information.
I did tell several ppl. Wish now I didn't tell a few of them bc of the reaction and the totally NOT understanding.
Have a couple family members and a couple friends that try to understand....so that's good.
