Why do you not tell others about your mental health? - March 11th 2023, 03:17 PM

I am marking it as triggering just in case.

So why do you not tell anyone about your mental health? I do not like telling people outside of doctors and possible partners for obvious reasons. I will not tell any partner until I know for sure we'd hit it off and actually be a thing. It's hypothetical, not really happening with me at this time. I also feel like there's still a stigma for having mental health issues, and seeking help for these issues.

At the end of the day, I only disclose these issues with certain close people and my medical care team.
