i just saw a post here saying there werent many success stories on here and even tho im pretty new here (just got my diagnosis a few weeks ago) ive been experiencing symptoms basically all my life so i thought i might have enough experience to give my small imput. 
so here's the story. basically had a breakdown infront of a new friend that ive known for about a month now. he was drunk, i was drunk and triggered as hell. had a whole breakdown where i pushed him away and refused physical contact. he didnt know why i was acting like this and seemed pretty put off, especially when i refused a hug from him. then i didnt here from him for a couple of days after that situation. i texted, called but he didnt answer. i thought i had fucked everything up. you know how it is. some people will leave you when they see the bad sides of your disorder. i was pissed, sad, confused, all negative emotions all at once. i legit thought i had lost something so good right after getting it. but today he called me. i told him all about what i had been feeling. he said i shoouldnt have been worried, he was just sick. i feel a little silly now but mostly really happy.
i just wanted to share this experience because 1) im so happy and i wanna tell someone because yayyy and 2) i thought this might help to show people that not everyone will push you away for your illness. theres good people out there who will accept you with all your sides, even the ugly ones. and if i can find people like that then so can you.
so i hope this helps someone. thats all i really want this post to do. love to you all💜
