When I first started struggling with my mental health I kept it as secret as possible and would only tell someone if they actually realised I wasn't ok. It took several years and an OD for most people to see what's up with me. Even then I still tried to keep it a secret.

I think I used to hide it because I was scared of how people would treat me. I thought if they knew they would suddenly start acting completely different around me and I would constantly be reminded that I'm not "normal." As time has gone on and more people have found out that hasn't been the case at all. I'm very lucky to have caring and supportive friends and family.

Part of me is considering sharing my issues on facebook... I think I'm just fed up with all the lies and secrecy and I feel like if everyone knew they would understand more why I do certain things.

What do you think? Is this a good or terrible idea??
