Thank you everyone for your insight. In a nutshell, it's best to keep bp to myself. My question is how? It's eating me up inside. I listen to stories of countless people "coming out of the closet", announcing they're gay, then they proclaim to be free and feel a great burden lifted from their shoulders. It's a shame that persons suffering deeply with mental issues to continue to suffer in silence. Is it the stigma? Ignorance on the part of society that makes us feel that we must not talk about it? I honestly don't know if I can hold this much torment inside. A sad reality. But I'm thankful for everyone to dhsre their personal experiences.....my brother is not supportive by any means. That should tell me something right there. One day, I do hope the future brings acceptance and no longer a stigma surrounding mental health.
