Our working definition of disclosure fatigue is being tired of telling people something about yourself that's important for them to know but they may not know about, so you have to educate them and almost convince them to accept what's being disclosed. On my Instagram account @HonMyChest I've been sharing about this topic from the SPFPP audience. It's interesting how disclosure fatigue shows up and how there are many other things to disclose and have disclosed to us outside just herpes. Today we hear from someone living with diabetes and herpes. We talk about how they're similar and different. We talk about the necessity based on who has to know. We discuss putting boundaries in place that protect us from experiencing it too much. We also discuss a little about who we choose to disclose to being a contributor to disclosure fatigue. This will be an ongoing discussion through upcoming episodes so we can learn to navigate the education piece while also protecting our emotions. What are some other things we have to disclose besides our STI status? What are some things you've been disclosed to that maybe your lack of knowledge about would cause the other person fatigue?
