I was dx'd a few months back. My family knows and are all supporting me. My friends know, one is in denial but is accepting it. The others and that one are all supporting me also. My boyfriend when being told, three weeks later up and left me. No word from him since.

It was hard telling my friends. Mainly becuase i've kept hidden so deep inside me the truth that i didnt even know. I was always considered the wild and crazy one and the troublemaker. I've explained to them the feelings and was honest with them about the past. Being an alcoholic and pot smoker for so many years along with most of them, these things were unnoticed. It was always the liquor talking. Well this bad influence of a person is getting a makeover and i hope it sticks with me.
