You are talking about the stigma of mental illness, and the awareness of it.
There are other places, than GC, to discuss these topics. The reasons are legion. But, I think the compelling reason is that if you are going to discuss these thing online anyways, do it with more supportive people than GC people... Seriously...
Seriously... GC is NOT a support group. There is no group therapy here. I am sorry that hurts, but, in fact, it incites cyberbullying in its truest form. Other sites do worse.
So, to save the trials and corrections to your own psyche, it is just wiser to limit that discussion on GC...
