I “ came out” on my Facebook about my Bipolar about 1.5 years ago I was like efff it if I lose some “ friends “
I was actually surprised no one had a issue with it. Many people praised me ( not what I was looking for ) for being open.
A few people also have Bipolar that I was unaware of.
I post loads of mental health articles most apply to MI folks and many others enjoy the messages and coping skills one , everyone needs coping skills whether MI or not.
The ones I know outside of FB seem fine with it and often ask questions. I’m lucky and know it , if someone has a problem I’d just stay out of there life or say it was family I have learned to deflect the ignorance , altho it hurts.
I’m sorry you have rude ignorant people
