I don't really observe people talking about their own problems unless I open up somewhat to them.

I agree, there seems to be a "pecking order" among MH conditions. I guess it is the "non-threatening" ones that are "ok to talk about". Probably as well as the "trendy" ones. Bipolar, I think that's kind of a gray area. Once celebrities admit to having it, it DOES help with the stigma issue, IMHO. But many people are still embarassed or whatever.

I have discussed my depression issues at work. My coworkers in my small office know I go see a therapist weekly. I'm ok with that, and they are OK with that, which really helps.

They know more than most of my family. They wouldn't be OK with that, because of the stigma thing and the selfish thing, it would not be "how can I help" it would be "how could you do this to us?" But maybe that is me just being f'ed up in the head. Who knows?
