Telling People

At first I was really scared to tell people, but, as is typical of me, if I have something going on in my life I want everyone around me to know. So, on Saturday, I told one person, a good friend. Her reaction was kinda "oh. well, that's nice. get a good doctor." On Sunday I told another person, he was much more happy for me.

Today, I talked to a good friend and told her. She screamed with delight and was SO happy for me. With all the appointments happening, my supervisor got curious, and I just told her what I was doing. She gave me some paperwork to fill out that would keep me from losing my job if I was out for more than 12 weeks.

Tonight, driving home from rehearsal, I told my actress about it and we talked about psychiatrists for a bit. She seems really happy for me, even though we've only known each other a couple weeks.

Anyways, I don't think I'm going to keep it a secret anymore. If I want someone to know, I won't feel guilty, I won't let them make me feel like I'm taking the easy route (which I'm sure they will) because they don't have to live in my body. And yes, I'm healthy and happy right now, but I'm also depressed, diabetic, and I want to go hiking and climbing with friends.
