hello, hello...
hmmm I wouldn't say that people hate me because I have a medical condition. They are just too overbearingly protective, to the point that alot of people expect that my business is there business too. That is the part that drives me up the wall. The fact that - yes, we may be related; but I don't see how that gives you a right to know everything that goes on in my mind. I suppose its more of an uncomfortable annoyance, so I tend to not like those people or the way they go about deleting any sense of privacy.
Part of being a teenager is about having secrets. Having these secrets is empowering. And power for me, is a big deal. I am one of those people who will give up all my power to doctors. Not because I trust them, it's more about feeling blackmailed to do so. So secrets, being able to hold on to the things that I think, is important to me. I really hate it, when people question how I think, or even what I think - or even me!
I suppose that is why my school never really knew about CAH. It has always been on the school records, but they've never sort of grasped what it actually means, so I never really bothered explaining it over and over again. I've always been aware of what to do, who to call so the schools vague understanding of it all has never really been an issue.
