well In my opinion we all need as much support as we can get so it's important to be honest with those closest to us, that way they can be understanding to whats going on which in turn helps us over our worst patches. Likewise if they don't understand what we are going through then maybe they aren't the type of people we need in our lives.

You need to be ready to explain it to him, start small and I bet it will just come pouring out and he might surprise you .

My friends know it's ok to joke about my jukebox, they ask what song is playing, and sometimes deliberately sing something annoying to change it, but I like that they are comfortable enough with my crazy to do that .
