ashamed no longer

Sunday, July 4, 2004 9:24 PM

there is something wrong here. well more than one thing honestly. lots of things. this world is going to pot. my family makes me feel like I should be ashamed of some of my health issues because the social stigma attatched to the title is more than a little off from the reality of the illness. so because YOU don't understand something I have to hide it away and be ashamed? I'm sick of letting peoples ignorances rule my behaviors, rule my opinion of even myself. if the change has to start with me so be it. so I've begun to be more forward and open with my illnesses, be ready with a correction or some helpful information to arm them with a more enlightened view. yes, I'm sick, but thats not all I am...
