You remind me a lot like one of my roommates. He has a noncancerous tumor in his head and while mundane, he still gets it checked from time to time just to make sure. Fair enough, but he craves an audience and will disclose information about it when presented with a large audience. I feel like he is trying to remind everyone that his life is in danger and wants people to feel sorry for him. Um... okay.The point I'm trying to get at it is that EVERYONE has problems in their life. But for goodness sake, we don't all have to disclose what we are going through.

Perhaps that was just his way of coping. I try to joke about mine, because it makes me feel better about having the problem in the first place. It's hard to deal with it when people bully me for it. I also feel better when I talk about it in general, especially if someone else knows what I'm going through either by experience, association, or study.
