One little step at a time, puzz. One step at a time. Good for you!!!!!

I have learned over the years that, while there are many non-mentally ill persons who are full of empathy for us, there are also quite a few who lack information and are therefore, really, of no benefit to us should they learn of our illnesses. They just cannot do it. Some will discriminate as well. So, I have learned that, despite the fact that I genreally am totally out there with my illness and stuff, I don'tshare it with everyone. I try only to do that with folks I know to be fairly supportive of our situation. I learned this the hard way after suffering discrimination in the workplace.
