Trying to keep your health condition secret is stress you absolutely do not need. Withholding this truth from teachers, friends, family, and everybody you know, will be a massive strain on your mind and body. Living with Sickle Cell is stressful enough by itself. You don’t need the added worry of people finding out your secret. After all, you aren’t a superhero who needs a secret identity to keep villains from destroying you and everybody you love. You are a real person with real needs.
Emotionally and spiritually you need the strength good friends can provide, the love family can give, and the comfort that comes from talking with others. The life preservers in the stormy seas of your life will frequently be found in your meaningful relationships.
