I work in mental health and addictions, so when I tell people about my job, I get an idea of what they think about people with mental illness. I think I would want to tell before I chose to get intimate with someone, then again, I would disclose my sexual abuse before I was intimate in case I freaked out.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
