I was just talking about the stigma yesterday with a fellow student who is a chaplain in the local mental hospital. He said he found the people to be sensitive and intelligent and he learned more from them than he had learned from anyone in a long time.

Of course, I just talked about my daughter working in the same hospital, and kept my mouth shut about my bipolar. That stigma is just too big for me to handle. I keep saying I'm coming out of the closet, but I think I have lost the key, and locked myself in.
