[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 56601, member: 3211"] I also guess that I alter what I say depending on who I'm talking to, but all in all, over the years, I've decided that I care less and less what others think - and just spill the beans if it's appropriate. I know too well that look of "I'd never" give medications, etc., but I figure if they know me well enough that I'm telling them, they'll either understand or not - I know that I cannot do anything about that. Most people are very understanding - considering the small town we live in where everyone knows everyone - and those who don't know what's going on tend to make something up anyway. A co-worker once overhead some girls from another office in town saying that my father had also been severely depressed (which he was not) so that it made sense that difficult child had problems. My co-worker (who is [i]AWESOME[/i]) stepped in to tell them if they really wanted to know what was going on - or wanted to check and see how we were doing - that they ought to ask me directly. It's a hard call to make. I guess we decide on a case to case basis who needs to know what and at how much they [i]need[/i] to know in that situation. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
