I don't talk about my mental illness and its issues to anyone except my therapist, my pdoc, and only a little bit to my husband. Sometimes to a support group if I attend one.
I used to try to talk about my mental health to my sisters. They listened and acted like they cared, but on down the line it came back to me that they thought I was "crazy." Ironically, they bother have and had mental health issues that are major, but would never seek help.
Now I feel very self-protective, and isolated, of course.
