It kind of sucks to have to be so private and secretive. But on the other hand, it helps to maintain certain friendships by not delving too deeply into the craziness. Does that make any sense?

One of the big things I'm having to deal with right now is deciding who to tel about my diagnosis and who not to tell. I have had so many people say 'well I've no seen you act that way, there's no way you're BP' and things like that. Explaini to them that I've been trying to hide it all my life isn't very easy, so I totally understand where you're coming from.
