I'm in therapy, recently started with someone new. I look forward to understanding my symptoms more. Last time they said something about the type of BP that I have is not typical or something like that. I am going to ask what they meant by that next time.

It makes since to not tell folks when you just know they are going to hurt you with it. It's so very challenging. For someone to deny your experience and diagnosis would be a reason for me not to tell. Also if they wouldn't keep it private it would be a big no for me as I am a very private person. Held a few people very close.

The impulse is fading today and I don't want the lectures, blow off that it's not important or the over emphasis of it's importance. Plus my family talks and gossips about each and I don't want to give them them more food for the fire. There is no one that I think would not do those things.

Also I think it's great when folks can talk about it, be themselves and not care what others think or take it in stride because fighting the stigma or other reason are more important,
