We met in high school, soon became best friends, and fell in love, although we didn't act on those feelings at the time.

He knew I was crazy from the get go though

A decade later when we reunited and actually started dating, he urged me to find a pdoc, the dx(s) was no surprise and of no consequence.


Getting them helped clarify alot of things, answered alot of questions, and helped us arm ourselves adequately, to be able to weather the storms better, together.


Guess it helps to have fallen in love with your best friend, even if romance only entered the picture a decade later.


It may look like a lot of time lost, but not only did it feel like no time had passed, but I doubt we would've been able to be together and stay together, if we had started dating as teenagers.
