I "came out" as a self injured on fb last year. The only reason I did so is because I got a tattoo to cover my scars but they were raised and visible from the irritation and slight swelling. So I felt I had to explain myself. I got tons of support. However, I have since made the post private because I am worried about my employers and future potential employers finding it. I've been told as a teacher that my online activity will be monitored. My profile is friends only but I don't fully trust that. I'm afraid a student's parent will find me and see what I've posted. So I don't post anything MI related except for stuff that can be deemed as support and doesn't necessarily reveal my own struggles. I just don't think my profession would be understanding of bipolar as there is so much stigma. I think parents wouldn't want me around their kids.
