I don't how old you are but I will tell you my experience with disclosure. I am 55 and have always been afraid to telol people. But my daughter who is 26 said "Mom, it's not a big deal. Ppl know more today and they just don,t get very excited about it." So once I get to be someone's friend I usually disclose in a positive manner. That way down the road if I am down in ed, I can tell then I am just depressed and not have to make up excuses and lie.
On the other hand, if you just CANT go, dont go. Dont force urself if you might cry or something. All u can do is the best u can.
Excuse the typos, my hands are shaky.  |
Hi thanks, I'm 50 and my daughter talks the same way your's does. I can't help it, it's a big deal to me. I've always hidden it, especially for professional reasons. I'm conditioned I guess.
I know my friend just wants the best for me and is trying to get me "back out there, but I've been a lot sicker the last 5 years and my confidence is shot. She says I have absolutely nothing to worry about. She's known him for over 30 years and I know she wouldn't stear me wrong, I'm sure.
Guess it's time to bring out the old coping skills. Thank you so much for your support, I really do appreciate it.
