Why canīt we just be honest and open? If someone has diabetes or another illness they can openly talk about it to family, friends, even strangers. I canīt imagine ever saying "Oh, you know, depression playing up again but Iīll be alright in a bit" to anyone in the street who asked me "How are you?".
Itīs not fair we have to hide our condition due to the rest of the worlds ignorance. Anyone else agree? |

I agree. How nice it would be to be able to talk freely about our issues.

Absolutely! As if the disorder itself isn't hellish enough, we have to face stigma, too. I do have hope that stigmatizing mental illness is slowly, but surely, changing.

I agree one hundred percent. The stigma makes things worse than it should be.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
