Just thinking about those of us expecting others to educate themselves about depression /anxiety that we experience.
Just because I am involved with foaling mares & the experiences I go through with that, does it mean that I should expect everyone around me to educate themselves about it?
Seriously, I educate myself mostly about things that effect my life personally, then I educate myself about things I am interested in. Other things I may not make accurate assumptions about if someone draws me into a conversation about something I don't know about. Most times life is so filled with things I have to do that educating myself on the million other things out there in the world isn't even possible. Does that mean I don't have an opinion (everyone is entitled to have their own opinion) even if it doesn't agree with ours.
I think those of us who struggle with mental illness need to be as understanding of others as we expect them to be about us
