Last December I decided to 'come out' on FB and post that I had been in hospital for Severe Mania-Bipolar and PTSD. I got a lot of positive feedback and of course many obvious silences. I wanted to break down the stigma and am starting not to care what people think of me. I am also lucky that my employer knows and is supportive so colleagues knowing is not a problem. Many people don't have that luxury.
