I know that I've decided to become quiet about my diagnosis because even if it appears to be okay to reveal it, later on something always comes up that shows me the people really couldn't deal with it.

The one time I've been in a psych ward it wasn't too bad except I loathe not being able to go outside, but I don't exactly want to go to one naively thinking nothing bad can happen...better prepared that way.
I tend not to talk much about my diagnoses outside of mental health forums like this or outside of therapy(though sometimes I tone things down in therapy even) or whatever. I don't even like talking to family about it really. They don't usually handle hearing about it to well. Hence why I end up relying on 'professional help' though I know the mental health system could be much better.
