I've always had problems with this... I never know what to believe.
Is it that important to tell your friends, and family of course, that you're ill?
I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but how do you go about telling a friend that? It doesn't exactly spring up in conversation.. I guess they deserve to know, but I think paranoia reminds me that it's not really worth it, it doesn't change who I am or what I do, but it may affect the way they see you.
With stuff like this before, I've tried to gather all my friends in one place and telling everyone at once.. I've tried telling nobody, which wasn't the greatest road to go down.. and also just a select few, which is easier but still makes me wonder about the rest.
Horrible horrible thing to munder over. I know the best thing is 'if it bothers you then say' etc.. I'm just interested in what you'd do.
Would something like that get to you? Would you feel pressured to say? Or would you just carry on, not really caring of it?
I have a few close, personal friends that I can discuss this with.. but the problem is, I'm making one or two new friends.. do they deserve to know? I don't know, it confuses and scares me. I'm more than likely worrying over nothing here mind.
So what would you do?

It's more of a worry really.
I'm sure I'm not the only one here, but sometimes when I'm talking to people, I get a thought in my head such as telling said person about me being a mentalist. Once that's there, it's difficult to concentrate on anything, including what they're saying. I can't exactly just blurt out with it though.. can I? Actually, I probably can.
I think the main question here is, if you suffer from something that nobody can easily see, is it worth telling your friends? Do they deserve the knowledge of it, or is it not worth mentioning, even if you do have the urge (selfish or otherwise) to say?
Confuses me, I swear.

Odd you notice that Reefer, they've been deleted for a long time, before you were registered.
They were removed because of a database shake up. I reviewed things they no longer stock.

Why, wonderful thank you.
Usually it's in a pub or something, doesn't really work online.

Grix - I just realised that all of your reviews disappeared. Wha!?
Hi Darren from Wales. I'm Graeme from Scotland.
How are you today?
How are you today?
I know, I can't get my head around it.
Is it that important? (You are on long term medication...) ...yeah, but it doesn't change me. I mean, I will only appear as I appear, does it matter that I'm this label thing? Why not just carry on anyway? (Because your illness, unfortunately, describes you as inable to perform self-analysis very well, making you feel much more sane than you really are)
That's a scary thought.
Oh.. rar. Maybe I should just change my inital greeting. I say "Hello, I'm Darren, I'm from Wales." You wouldn't believe how successful that is for starting conversations.

Ooh, tough one.
To be honest, I'd probably tell people, but I wouldn't just come out with it though, just mention it if conversation ever leans that way.
Hmm, or would I?
*thinks*
With my disability it's pretty damn hard not to notice, so I don't actually know how I'd be with something you can't see from 100 paces.
