that means only you can decide if you should tell someone and who you would like to tell and why. for me I do tell some people about my mental and physical health issues such as my wife, my family, my treatment providers, at work its on a need to know basis ie my supervisors know I have dissociative issues and physical health issues so that they can make ADA accommodations when and where needed. again if you are here in the USA, only you can decide whether you should or want to tell others, why and how to tell them should you decide to do so. other locations outside the USA may have other rules about disclosing mental and physical health issues, your treatment providers can tell you if your location requires you to tell anyone, or whether it is your choice to do so. |

Take yourime, be choosy who you tell. It is best to understand the meaning of this yourself, before sharing.

If you are comfortable and feel safe about telling them, I don't think it would be a bad thing. If you are unsure about it or think you might feel judged, waiting wouldn't hurt. Talking to your pdoc some more might help you figure out how to tell them in a way they would both understand and support you.

My bfriend already asked about dx and i told him. He didnt even know what it was but will google it. Think he is cool. Should have known . He is first guy that was super cool about me dissociating in his presence. He doesnt panic or get ?mad. He just says ," what
can i do?" Which is funny because i'm totally out to lunch and unresponsive. But today that's what he asked. Do you need me to do anything? |
