I am very open with my struggles. I have talked on fb about what it was like to be committed involuntarily to the psychiatric ward. I talk about what it feels like to be really depressed and wanting to kill myself. I talk about the boundless energy hypomania brought and how I exercised fr 4 hours straight to burn energy as an example. I talk about stigma and feeling crazy and the frustration of different meds and side effects. I talk about it all. Luckily I have received mostly a lot of support. In some cases I lost some friends, but I'm okay with that.
