I talk to my close friends about it, but they don't go to therapy themselves so while they are supportive, they can't really know what I'm talking about. Also there have been times when my mind was completely occupied with therapy but I tried not to talk about it all the time because I thought it would get very boring and repetitive for them. Even with me trying I think I did talk about the same stuff over and over sometimes!

I really like Luco's attitide of being open about it (telling the waitress - love it!) I think therapy could and should be seen as a normal thing, it's normal to me now after all these years and I also think it's a healthy lifestyle choice like doing exercise and eating healthily. I am open with friends but not at work because I'm afraid of stigma and labels. I think that if more people were open about these things then there would be less stigma, but nevertheless I'm afraid of being open at work.
