Re: No support network?
(Anonymous) 2012-10-09 02:36 am (UTC)(link)Does your doctor have advice of support groups near you? Or hobbies you can do to take your mind off your medical conditon or help manage it? Depending on where you are, I think there are also public phone lines you can call and talk to someone with if you need to unload things off your chest but doesn't want the whole comm to know.

Re: No support network?
Anon's advice seems pretty sound imo, but if you don't have support groups near you (or don't want to be involved with a face-to-face support group) maybe you should look for one online? That might be easier since you're trying to keep it a secret.
I'm sorry about your friend, though. :/ Hope everything works out for you anon! No one should have to be alone, unless they want to.

Re: No support network?
(Anonymous) 2012-10-09 03:40 am (UTC)(link)Can you compartmentalize the process? Rehearse what needs to be said, break it down into small steps, start doing the steps and tell yourself along the way that you can back out any time. For myself, I'm going to wake up tomorrow, eat breakfast, pick up the phone, dial my doctor's number, tell the receptionist I need an appointment, say which days I can make the appointment, and hopefully I will get a slot this week. Maybe a similar process can help you?
Also, maybe pretending to be someone else can help? Like, when I don't agree with someone but don't want to come off as an asshole either, I pretend I'm secretly Captain America and smile prettily at the person instead of going off in a rant. Because Captain America is not the ranting type. My version of Captain America is not, anyway.
