The Butterfly Who Flapped Too Hard

  • Good intentions gone wrong

    So, I think I've mentioned before about feeling like friends have dropped me like a hot potato since I was diagnosed, and a couple of days ago I learnt about a possible reason why it may feel like this. In fact, in the last week or so, I've learnt of a couple of reasons now I think about it...... and I'm not sure how to feel about it.

    The first is what people didn't feel like they could talk to me about their…
