I can relate to what you are talking about with the people at work because a few of them at work do know about my therapy and I am becoming more open slowly with it. I can actually say that I am leaving for therapy now instead of shyly saying an appt. It does help too that I have a lot of different personalities to work with which is helps me practice my patience and coping skills. I work with a narcissistic, a bipolar, an ADHD and a person that suffers from depression and ADHD. It really is quite a mixture of people. These 4 are actually the head bosses of the place I work -

Anyway, to say the least, our place is never boring

As for sports friends, no we don't go out afterwards or anything but we do have an end of the year banquet which is a blast. I am just more of an introvert that likes to stay home and hybernate.
