I'm not saying it shouldn't have come up over the course of a few months, or weeks even, but really, if you have a chronic condition, sometimes people don't need to see that about you right away. I can't attest to a fatal condition (and I could see the difference in something that is communicable), but it's nice to have people judge your personality and what isn't wrong you before anything else. Of course I will admit that I'm incredibly biased on this as I do have a chronic physical condition. But if I went through everyone with at least ten posts on here, I could Dx at least 80% with some sort of psychiatric condition. Do I think that percentage of people are unworthy of talking to? Of course not. But are they better folks for concealing or simply not knowing their misfortune than someone who clearly does? That I'm unsure about. I didn't mean that to insinuate that any particular person has issues, or even a majority. If you look in a certain light, though, you can always find something wrong with someone--especially when it comes to health. I cannot do a lot of things Dommes regularly expect, and I never lie about it. I don't think omission is always lying when it comes to health, either. Where does it start and begin? If you had PTSD when you were 15 and are now 45 and over it, must you disclose that because you might still have a nightmare out of the blue? It's just a bit blurry to me, that's all.
