This may have been posted before (not sure) but I was wondering how
the stigma of mental illness affects your life, maybe at work or personal
relationships. People today still don't always get what having a mental
illness is all about. I'm not really asking about your mental illness but
how the stigma of it affects your life.
I know for me the stigma kept me from opening up to those I love.
The thought of them seeing me as weak or defective somehow was
a very tough feeling to overcome.
