> Also, I'm kind of freaked out that my colleagues and family will find my hospitalization a rather scary way to find out that their beloved llrrrpp is unwell. (as I said in an earlier post, few of them are in-the-know)
I discovered, to my amazement, that simply telling people of my struggle helped me to feel more well. Moreover, you can soon distinguish between "friends" and "acquaintances". One sort sticks it out, and the other runs away. Can you guess which is which?
It's an in-joke in psychology, at least (I can't speak for pdocs. I have a degree in psych.), that everyone in the field is in it because they themselves needed to try and figure out what the hell was going on.
