You're right, BP. I'll be patient and try to wait a bit longer. I've been thinking about what you said regarding disclosure and I'm going to consider doing what you do. MI is so prevalent, there must be some people out there touched by it somehow. Perhaps sharing my diagnosis will be encouraging to some. What a conversation starter...

BlueInanna, your thought is encouraging. I do believe that things come our way when we are ready for them. Perhaps being ready for friends means being ready to disclose.
My honesty may open me to others' acceptance.

shattered sanity, I'm glad you got some encouragement, too!
