If you can't tell, why should I?
For the majority of my life, I never told anyone I had a genetic life-threatening illness. As a child, everyone knew but through my teens and beyond I stopped talking about it. I was living double lives - most literally at some points in my life - I was someone at home and someone entirely different when I was out. For years my co-workers and best friends didn't know there was anything wrong with me. I would go into the hospital and tell everyone I worked with I was going on
