Oh my goodness! You verbalized much of what I've been struggling with lately! It's true about how clamping down and repressing what is still pretty damn glorious, if we think about it, is such a shame!! thank you for this inspirational message and quick lesson in self love.

Hi Nigella! Thanks for sharing the spiritual story as it says something to me about how much of my anguish comes from my own head... Many people tell me regarding other instances that, like many, i tend to magnify negatives and try to anticipate outcomes instead of just dealing with things as they are. Why can't I just let things be what they are? I am grateful for your sharing and attitude, thank you for your straightforward take -- very valuable to me right now.

And yes, please do tell us about other perceptions and is it different when you date? How have your disclosures gone?

I want to chime in, too! I also love your vitality, insight, common sense, zen-y solutions/attitude adjusting offerings and your ability to articulate and share all the things that seem great and minute surrounding the 'pimple' issue... And for sharing your personal experiences putting a firm and thoughtful perspective on it. Great theory on the 'complete' H package (new and improved! not only do you get the physical sensation and great look of H (it's its own recognizable brand like Coke) you get mental hangups and sense of despair for FREE!) It does seem like H comes with this self inflatable mental block, skewing reality, bitter looping of negativity, etc. yay! More please! (Mini rant - ahh feel much better)

Hi, I was diagnosed about 6 yrs ago, I'm 42 and have a boyfriend. I was locked up tight in the closet until about 2 yrs ago when I got a physical handle on it, but the emotional handling is not so easy in coming... I have still not disclosed to anyone other than boyfriend. Also, very interested in talking to someone else who has gone thru relationship and dating issues with h. I am a good cheerleader, but try to give sincere and thoughtful advice when I can. I hope to be supportive and find support. I'm in the Los Angeles area--would also love to find a buddy to just talk or email. Male and female perspectives would be great! I look forward to talking with you! :)
