I posted this on someone’s forum about keeping it to them selfs but please read
For a while i let it torture me every second of my life keeping it to my self and wouldn’t even tell a doctor then one day i told a friend and she went with me to tell my doctor and from there my treatment started. That was when i was 17 now im 23 and theres some people i wont tell at all cause i can see that their not nice people or very judgmental non educated or wont understand but for the most part i let people get to know me for a few days or a week and then i tell them. I do this cause if we stay quiet the stigma of our disorders will never end. What others think is none of our business even know it does hurt when they dont give us the response we were looking for but if they liked you before they knew they should like you now and if their going to treat you different or make you feel bad you honestly dont need them in your life whats so ever… this is a life long illness we will live with for ever and we have to voice who we are and that we are not crazy where just a little unwell. STOP THE STIGMA DONT BE SCARED TO VOICE WHO YOU TRULY ARE. Xoxo
