For example, there's a person of whom I spoke to not long ago, and I told her that, if there's a God, I'm mad at him for creating nature to often be cruel. She immediately started laughing and said, "Mad at God? That's your OCD talking!" Like caring about and having compassion for animals is a symptom of mental illness.
And Simmering, if your T is doing that, you need to report him to NAMI and/or sue him.
Saw_q, I do talk to my cats, but I feel the need to talk to humans sometimes. Often seeking advice.
RedEagle, it's not generally that others are telling my secrets. It's that some people will use what I say to belittle me, judge me because I have a mental illness, or tell me I'm not capable of doing things because of it.

Definitely don't tell people you have a mental illness. The general public thinks all people with mental illnesses are serial killers.
