Although, to be fair, you also made me laugh, too. Maybe it's my Serious Mental Illness, but a Sarcastic Poet is right up there on my list of favorite things.

That's the part that nearly made me cry. Yes, it is part of who I am. And I am ashamed of who I am. It's amazing how I can even turn GOOD things into something to be ashamed of. (I wrote to my mother telling her I'm on the Dean's List, something I don't think has ever happened before. And told her, "I know it doesn't mean anything, but I'm a bit pleased." And was ashamed that I was showing her at all.)
My bottom line for it is that I will try NOT to disclose, but if I do, I will try to be OK about it.
And whatever happens, I'm glad to know I can tell them about the "don't eat a gallon of ice cream and puke it up cure" for bulimia. I'm sure they'll appreciate the information that there *is* a cure...
