Fear and/or ignorance rules. Many people I have met think it's a choice, like what to wear each day. Until they or someone they love gets ill, then they may try to learn about it. Some people I tell, most I do not because then they look at you like you're the next serial murderer in disguise. As an introvert with PTSD I hate to think what opinions would
surface from some of my acquaintances. "Loners" get a bad rap and if they have MI it's
worse.
