It made me feel weird at first, but I did it anyway

Congratulations for your courage. I have actually told a few people but when someone doesn't understand it, it really makes me mad. Lol. Some people need to get educated... Oh yea, and stay Positive!!!!!!

Thanks. Hopefully they will understand at least a little. I did it because I couldn't go on with they way things have been. I had to do something to change things. I know if I keep doing the same things over and over again, nothing will change.

I'd highly recommend against this unless you are very close to your friend and your friend is mature enough to want to understand this problem instead of jumping to conclusions or judging you.
