cills40 & to everyone else. I myself give out too much info. My mom, who knows me the best is constantly telling me I say too much (both about general life situations and personal situations. I know she is right and I am working on it. But as I have now been diagnosed as BP1 I think I see a direct correlation in how much I tell people. Before I was getting on the path to being stabilized I found myself telling complete strangers about being raped. I specifically remember being at a BBQ this summer (2011). It was at an old boyfriend's friend's house. As the night went by and the drinks went down, I told a group of 4 or 5 people that I don't even know that I was raped. I must have come off as insane. If I were on the other end, hearing my story, I would have thought the same. I've also struggled with the issue of trust. I just hand out my trust like candy. I don't take the time for someone to earn my trust. I do trust my new diagnosis, my doctor, my therapist, and my increasing stability will help me in the future to better determine what and whom I divulge such intense personal information. I'm not a doctor, I'm on my iPhone - I am not giving any professional medical advice & I might make spelling mistakes.
How did this become my life?
