> I've found that when I've trusted my female friends enough to discuss some of my problems, they come out with some amazing stuff too, it';s funny how we always feel the need to put our best faces on. Now, I have friends who will call me and ask to borrow meds until their's are re-filled and I swear I'm their part-time therapist
When I opened up with my sister last fall, things really changed in our relationship. Not to say that everything is perfect and open now, but we are able to discuss our "issues" and our medication and therapy and all that, not to mention our upbringing and why-we-are-the-way-we-are sort of things. It was so surprising to me and probably to her to learn of each other's struggles. Now we have let down our walls a little bit. Before we were so guarded and unaware. Now we don't have to fight it *quite* so alone.
