I've been pretty open both at work and with my classmates about having mental health issues. I work as a mental health specialist and I'm in training to be a counselor. Sometimes it seems like the mental health field stigmatizes people with mental health issues worse than almost anybody, but I've actually found that it's been well-received when I tell people. The way you tell them makes a difference, I think. After demonstrating that I can do the work I'm doing, I might mention when something comes up that I have personal experience with that. So I'm using my experiences as something that I have learned from and I'm willing to share what I know. That's different from announcing it in a way that people might assume that they would have to pull my weight for me because of this, or I'm going to be needy and demanding, or something like that.
