She won't spread it around, but I know it makes her uncomfortable and I think she wishes she didn't know. There's a lot of judgement out there. But not on this forum!

Yes I am feeling the same right now. A lot of my good friends have been questioning what's going on with me and I don't want to tell them. I don't want anybody knowing. It's almkst like once it's out its out. And nothing you can do will ever change them looking at you differently. Right now a lot of my old friends look at me like I'm a liar or deceitful, or my behaviour has been all over the place and I'm fake. It's just simply not true. And I don't think I can say anything that will help anybody understand. And I'm not sure I even want them too!!!
I feel like nobody reached out to see wtf was going on with me. Like why I acted in certain ways and if I was OK. So that says a lot. I dint want to make anybody uncomfortable or have anybody look at me differently. And I'm just trying to process this all myself right now too.
