Have you told anyone?

[Grace]

Since I've found out there is actually a name for this, I have realized why I can never seem to focus in class, and why I don't feel like talking much, and plenty of other things, too. My grades are starting to look bad now, and I haven't told anyone about my M.D. I definitely can't tell my friends. They would think this was a joke and I was overreacting. I can't even imagine what my parents would do... but I still feel like someone should know. Have you told your family or friends? How did you do it? What was their reaction?

nooooo way. it's so personal to me. I've worked really hard to stop them because they absolutely interfer with my life. My husband just thinks I'm distant sometimes. I wouldn't even know where to start. I've been doing this since I was very young. I'd worry about the reaction.

I told my close friend before I know about MD. I told her that I like to talk to myself when I was alone. She's OK with it  and said that there were some motive for it. But we had talked about mental  issue before including  her mental problem too. So she wasn't shocked 'bout it.

There's actually a whole (rather large) discussion about this going on, pretty much since the site began.  I've listed some tips for how to tell people on there, though they may be buried by now.  You should check it out when you get a chance.

Friends? What of try telling the person you trust the most. To tell several people seems to be putting yourself out there big time. Never told anyone but been thinking about it for a couple of months, and now all this info. Could be easy to just send away a few links here and there to see what the reaction would be. I think it's good you recognize your need to share this very personal information about yourself though! I myself am going to tell someone soon, it's people I trust so who doesn't really matter. But I am most definitely going to very soon.
