I believe it is a PERSONAL matter. No one else's business.

If someone CHOOSES to tell family or a friend their business that is THEIR CHOICE. The individual should get to choose who is told about their own life.

Some people can't keep their mouth shut and they are not to be trusted with any details of my life nor anyone else's. There is such a thing as PRIVACY.

I may add that I do not have ANY mental illness (can't speak for others) not there is anything wrong with having a mental illness. I do not discriminate and have a friend with anxiety.
