"sick of being sick"...so true. I also hid my diagnosis from others, especially church members. There's still such a stigma associated with mental health. But people should realize that mental health problems are prevalent & increasing annually. We're not crazy. We're just trying to re-balance our brain chemistry. I find it comforting to know that I'm not alone in my feelings. Since I'm obsessive-compulsive, I have to look at the latest stats.....annually 12% of women, 7% of men get seriously depressed....the lifetime risk of a depressive episode ifor women s estimated at 20% (that's 1 in 5 women). And this is depression only, not to mention other mental health conditions. So take comfort that we are not alone & we have each other.
