In the past, I told people without thinking. Impulsive. Feeling "ashamed" seems to not make logical sense. But society has a difference in opinion sometimes. Fact. So I would probably not advise people to tell others. This includes myself. However I suspect I will find myself in a situation where I do it again. Should I? No. I'm not a role model or poster child of wellness for which to elect myself spokesperson. Do I hope I can someday be a role model of sorts? You betcha. But I just need to keep taking baby steps. I'm stuck for various reasons, but it will get better.

So to tell or not to tell? Wait a minute, am I suddenly gay and in the military?
