tralala- I have to say that in your case your 100% right! having to live almost your entire life keeping a secret is very hard (especially for someone so young). but I was diagnosed at 18 when I was fairly an adult already. At first I did want to tell all my friends about it but then my parents explained the situation to me and I agreed with them that it was better to keep it a secret. I have to say that sometimes its fun when people say comments like “Your so skinny why do you always watch what you eat>” or ” You have SO MUCH self control.” well, duh? I just laugh inside and repeat the stories to my family and we all laugh together!
at the same time though, i would love to have a friend who I can talk to about it sometimes..oh well! I guess that’s why we have this forum!! 🙂
