Are you ashamed to mention that you have a mental illness/addiction in public? * 1
    #21678654 -

Ok maybe not addiction. People immediately will think that your a shit head because 1% of addicts makes the 99 look bad.

But mental illness. Are you opened to talking about it in public. Like going straight out and say you're bi-polar and that you have depression or other issues?

Personally, it's something I prefer to never say. Unlike a broken leg, it isn't obvious, it's easy to hide for a short period of time and I don't know, it's a weakness I would rather not show.

The thing is. I know I'm wrong thinking that way... It's not shameful, I was born that way...

What about you guys? What you think?

yeah, i am. pretty much everyone in my family knows im a little 'off' at times, and the closer ones(my grandpa and aunts&uncles) know i'm an alcoholic and spent some time in a ward.
we just dont talk about it, or at least they never bring it up around me unless its a one-on-one conversation

I'm more open about my addiction then my mental illnesses . I have become more open with friends and family members who I am close to. My boss knows I'm an alcoholic and a pot head but I don't smoke on the job I will have a beer on lunch on occasion.

Yeah I have a few mental illness including PTSD insomnia major depressive and genral anxiety disorder. I used to self medicate for more then a decade on harder stuff then I do now.  Now it's SSRIs ambien booze and weed . Since then 've been taking ssris I've been drinking less and barely smoking . 

I think I'm probably most honest about it here but it's easier to talk to other people who are like you and more then likely you will never meet

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

definately, i have o problem talking about myself on the shroomery. ultimately anything i say here is forgotten eventually. in real life with my cousins and stuff its a different story, and i wouldnt want them to know about that. they're too young to understand that mental health isnt a black and white thing, as if your either totally normal or completely insane

I personally don't let people know what Doctors have to say about my head because people look at you really funny after you tell them.  It's easy to call somebody "crazy". It's dismissive.

I can't remember a time I was happy, growing up I was angry, always in trouble at school or with the law, got in some serious trouble that made me stop getting in trouble, started developing what I would call repressed rage, always angry without acting out or displaying it anymore, took mushrooms a few years ago, anger dissepated, turned into depression, I think about suicide almost everyday knowing I don't have the balls to actually go through with it, I literally have not been happy....almost ever, and not even my closest friends have noticed, or my family. I spend most of my time alone, because I almost always hate interacting with people, I don't care about most things, I don't look forward to anything, I see no point for me to even exist. I'm emotionally dead, I don't get happy, I don't get angry, I basically feel as though I don't feel anything 95% of the time. As the pink floyd song goes, I've become comfortably numb.

Only time I told anyone was when I was forced to talk about it, I was court ordered to do 50 therapist sessions, which he cut me short to 25, after I made sure he knew I hated him and thought he was a quack.

But am I ashamed to tell people? No, I just haven't and won't because I realized a long time ago no body cares about anyone's problems except there own. I've subtly tried to reach out to people at times, for them to flip it around to a problem they're having in their life, which I help them get through, because it pains me to see other people unhappy or feeling alone, since I know all to well what that is like. Only reason I feel comfortable saying it here, is because none of you know me, and because it doesn't matter if you know anyway. I'd pr

You are the perfect candidate for SSRIs.

They will change your life around.

I'm on the autism spectrum but have only mentioned it to a couple friends. I'm not ashamed about it what so ever and wouldn't change a damn thing about my self....I just don't mention it because I have no reason to, and a lot of people immediately think of "rain man" and have similar skewed impressions of what autism is.






I was hesitant to post in this thread because I don't quite consider autism to be a mental illness....but it is looked at as such by some.

In my head. autism is antisocial behavior accompanied by sick math skills.

I'm not sure if SSRI's are a narcotic or not, but I have a very addictive personality so I usually stay away from anything that is possible for me to get hooked on. And I can't explain but I've always had a thing about taking any kind of pills, I won't even take tylenol unless it's an absolute necessity, and never tried any that were narcotics even when prescribed. Pills make me uncomfortable.

I would be if I was an addict/had a mental illness. I don't like talking about bodily functions even though so I'm probably abnormally closed off in that sense

But who wants others to know you're mentally compromised?

It's not a narcotic. You can't use them recreationally either. They just improve your mood and make you a better person. After 3 months you realize that you are no longer depressed, you have a positive outlook on life and that you have improved for the better. You start giving a shit about stuff, you become motivated and interested in things. You become a "normal" person.

As for addiction, well, its a prescription that you take once a day. Of course you'll fll back to being depressed and miserable if you stop taking them. But it's not a drug to get high at all. It's subtle yet extremely effective. I strongly suggest you go to a psychiatrist and ask for a prescription. Cipralex/Lexapro saved my life.

I don't have any diagnosed mental illnesses, and I'm not currently addicted to anything that effects my life, but I guess I am technically an addict, as I have been addicted to opiates and benzos.

No, I'm not ashamed to admit it in public. I beat my addictions without any outside help. And I do still use opiates and benzos, but I'm responsible with my use now.

It's none of their business.  People are on a need to know basis.  If they dont need to know why the fuck would I tell them or any public? Next thread Patial or however you spell your name.

People know about my illness but it's rarely talked about.
Nobody knows about my addiction, yet.

Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.
