I treat my mental health like I do my physical and sexual health - its private and no ones business but the treating professionals. If I need to explain for example after punching out a significant other because a memory pievce was triggered I keep it very general - I am a survivor of sexual abuse and because of that have nightmares and mood swings when it happens either ask what I need or give me space to unwind and dont take it personally. its just a part of life and life goes on type attitude.
