Yeah, I see what you mean and that
is a good thing. But I was also talking about how people have to mention these things even when it's not relevant. Almost like it's a cool thing to have. I just don't see the point of telling people you have anxiety or depression when you're talking about something completely unrelated. Like if you were to start a Facebook comment in reply to a post about a football match with "I'm a vegetarian".
I think a few more people might know about my depression - there was one time when I was so pissed off at the way my doctor treated me that I told a few people what happened at the appointment, but I did hope that maybe it wouldn't really register with them? And I pretended it was just that one depressive episode I had 3 years ago, never told them I've been dealing with it for 15 years.
