I’ve spoken to my wife and kids openly about it for many years. It’s only recently that I’ve started to open up about it with my close mates, and they’ve always been encouraging and reminding me of all the amazing things I’ve accomplished in my life. It makes me feel better about myself. You’ll be really surprised how opening up about it is quite therapeutic. Sure it’s not easy to do so, but taking that load off your shoulder really is therapeutic.
