Stigma

It is hard to know who to open up to. When I would open up about my mental illness, I never knew what the result would be. Would they be unsupportive, or would they be cool with it? I have found that the more familiar someone is with mental illness, the more likely they are to be supportive. If you have never had to battle your own mind, how do you explain that to someone? I hope for a day when mental illness is as widely accepted as physical illness.
