Anxiety/Depression/Mental Illness Support
RE: Anxiety/Depression/Mental Illness Support
True Shell, but sometimes people have to lie about these things for reasons other than shame. I am probably one of the most open people out there about personal mental issues, and if I could, I would probably introduce myself to strangers as the guy who has taken several trips to psychiatric hospitals. I think part of the societal stigma attached to mental issues is a result of people's desire to stay quiet about them. Alas, my family members do not wish to be as open with my problems as I am, so I tend to only mention them in places that they will not be affected, such as this place.Smile

And as for the lying about the origin of self-inflicted wounds, that may work as an explanation to those who are unaquainted with them, but I guarantee you that anyone that has engaged in self-mutilation will recognize such wounds immediately.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
