just tell them u appreciate there concern, but u are fine and dont want to talk about it.

ditto

I have been getting that daily from my family. I try to just be happy that they're concerned, but sometimes when i don't feel like talking, I don't answer the phone (then they freak out because I was suicidal a couple weeks ago). But if you don't want or need it, just try to tactfully let them know.

Shit I just realised that Ihave been keeping a lot of things secret from my friends and sometimes I get weird little looks. Maybe I should just tell everyone? Sorry I haven't any advice.

I just think its important to know that someone is there. I know that when my sister in laws brother died at 43 from cancer a few months ago I called her everyday for a while. Told her just making sure you are ok, just in case today is the day that you need me. I backed off becuase time passed and that is what happens. Oneday you may need them and if they are people that you would want there then just tell them you are fine and if you need them you will let them know.
they only care about you. Although I cant relate cause I havent told anyone yet, I dont know what they will say or how they will react.
I wish someone would ask me if I was ok in my family. None does. its a passing hey hows it going.
Hand in there they seem to care about you..I am sure it can drive ya nuts thought. When I bitch about the same thing weeks or days from now, please send this back to me!!
lol
angie xoxox

Golly, I've found out the least I say to anyone the better. That way it cannot come back on me. There are just somethings you do not want family, or friends, co-workers, to know. So, kindly tell co-workers all is well with and smile.

THEY KNOW at work.On the days I can get myself toget i together to go in.I always get those sad eyes of my friends ...and a little voice "How are you?"

I jst answer ..."I'm standing upright"..then I give them my own little smile.

Some people hate to talk about being BP..some people will tell you their story,while standing in line at the grocery.I do both...depending on my mood.

My family is so used to BP that unless I bring it up, it doesn't come up in conversation. Fine with me. Everyone understands, and everyone wants to be left alone equally.

This is how I respond. "Bill, your my friend, so don't get affended when I say PISS-OFF!" Then they just figure I'm in a bad mood and shouldn't bring it up. LOL =P

Yeah, I agree with most of the posts here. I would thank them profusely (cuz people like to be acknowledged for etending their care and concern, and it IS nice that they are doing that, even if it IS driving you bonkers!!), tell them that it helps to know that they are there for you if you need it, but that, for the most part, the way that works best for you is to not focus on it or talk about it!!
And if anyone persists (because there ARE those types!), you may have to be a bit more blunt and remind them that you prefer not to discuss it and then say, 'You WILL stop now, won't you?' (Cuz I'm telling you, some people, unless they're pinned to the wall, will keep it up.)
Good luck!!! You've got enough to do dealing with it without the added stress of having to discuss it when you don't want to!!!
Take care!!!!

It took my husband a little while to realise that when I generally say I dont know what is wrong...I honestly dont...
when I say I am fine I am but if I tll him Im not feeling so great then Im not feeling so great...If he ask me why and I know I will tellhim but if I dont know I honestly dont know so he leaves me to try to sort it out by myself until I can work it out...I dont always work it out and he accepts that now...
Sit them down gently explain to them that although they are trying to help in actual fact they arent because they are confusing you...they will understand give them time they have only just discovered that you have beepers not on hard drugs...While they are relieved they are also flying blind...Find them things to read...Give them time too...
