Not a problem

There is such a stigma placed on mental illness, right now a small part of my dad still believes my uncles and aunts have 'bewitched' me, and let me tell you, he majored in economics at university, he's not uneducated. No one in my family or community knows I'm bipolar because of the stigma and it could also affect my job prospects later in life if an employer comes to find out. I would love to go to a neighboring country but honestly I'm just not in the financial position to do so
