i know a young asian woman who has had some mental health issues and she is trying to speak out in the asian community about her struggles. she says it is a stigma in the asian community to admit to having mental health issues and to receive help for them. i grew up around a lot of asians and they seem to have just as many struggles as anyone else from what i've seen. i think they just deal with them privately. there is a fair amount of conversation around that Tiger Mom book. if you google that then i think you'll find some others speaking of their experiences. i am sorry you are feeling so alone in this. you are not the only one. you are just brave enough to admit it.
