Yeah, I have a hard time talking to anyone about my psychiatric probs because I can see in their eyes and their body movements that they are very uneasy, uncomfortable, and skeptical. But after 10 years of doctor care, 12 months of psychotherapy, and relentless effort on my part in terms of exercise, bright light, diet changes, attitude, etc, they are all appearing now to believe that something is indeed wrong with blueberry that is not normal.
It has taken a long time, but family members now are more concerned about me, asking how I feel, asking what the doctors are doing, asking me to describe what it feels like. And instead of lecturing me they actually just listen with apparent sincere interest. But I still avoid talking about it as much as possible, because there is still always a slight sense of unease in the atmosphere when I do.
