Mental health issues suck because you’re better off not telling people what you have. Very close friends, some family, and your medical professionals are maybe ok, but everyone else is just a risk not worth taking.

If you had some physical alignment people are more accepting and compassionate. If you have schizophrenia, people will fear you. If you’re bipolar, people will question and misjudge your actions. If you have anxiety disorder, people will think your overreacting. If you have clinical depression, people will tell you to just get over it.

You become “that person” and are no longer a person. Which is counter to why you take medicine and try to be stable.
