The people here seem to listen and be helpful. You are liked and cared about here. We all share a bit of the same troubles Belonging someplace is a small comfort I hope.
Shop for a doc that suits you. You are under no obligation to share your history with family or at work.
It would be nice if gossip didn't spread like wild fire. I lived in a small town. My mom taught me that if a secret is to be kept secret you can't tell one person. That one person will tell just one other and so on and so on.

Keeping everything in and living in fear of anyone finding out and judging you must lead to at least some small sense of isolation.
