Since I moved to Sun Prairie, my friends have always been the most important part of my life. They have been the ones that have guided me, whether good or bad, and helped shape me into who I am today.
After my diagnosis, and even before, I learned how to turn to my friends for support, to build a support system out of them.
But people don't seem to understand that it is crucial that my support system is available. This makes me needier than most people. And it makes me incredibly difficult to deal with. I can't tell you how many friendships have deteriorated because they can't handle how I react to certain situations.
And every single time it takes me by surprise. Because I never see it coming. And if it's not coming, I overanalyze it until they get sick of me and ditch.
I am a pro at losing friends without ever trying.
