I choose not to tell the world about my BP but I also did not choose to tell the world I had cancer ...
As far as Shame for going IP ??? Should someone feel shame for going to the local hospital for any other illness ? or surgery? I think not.
I dont mean to be rude but I just dont get it. |
I don't necessarily feel shame...I just don't want people to worry about me. I don't want to become more of a burden.
Then again I can feel shame. I mean a year ago I was the best athlete on my team and going to clubs every night with "buds" and had good grades and my teachers thought I was wonderful to have in class. Now I dropped out, gained 70 lbs in 3/4 of a year, dropped the sport, and have lost all my friends. My shame may be better defined as fear, fear that everybody I know will find out about me. I fear because my coach is a blabbermouth and he shares everything with everybody, and he talks behind your back.
I shouldn't be shameful, I'm twice the person as anybody I'm afraid of being made fun of by.
Thanks Christina, you helped me feel less embarrassed and more empowered.
