The Continuing Struggle with Mental Health Disclosure
I’ve written about mental health disclosure on this blog several times in the past. In those posts, I’ve taken a strong stance in favor of the practice, because I am firmly committed to the benefits mental health disclosure brings to those who are mentally ill.
Mental Health Disclosure
Be that as it may, however, I still continue to struggle with disclosing my mental health condition to people. Just because I know the benefits doesn’t magically make it easier for me to disclose. Watch the video below to get more details.

I grew up with a family who made fun of people with mental illness valling them "nutjobs". So im scarred and dont share my bipolar though i know most and normal people dont behave so cruely. Its a shame. PLEASE NEVER joke about mental illness as its painful and not a joke. Shame on my family. Karmas a *itch.
Wow - I'm sorry your family has such a toxic view of mental illness. If my family were anything like yours, I would be afraid to share anything about my illnesses as well. Over time, mental illness will become more and more accepted, but it is hard to wait for such a time to arrive.
