I am always very open about it, but people often get scared of talking about it, When you start speaking up though, it is amazing how many people say they have experienced a mental health illness too, or someone close to them have. There is such a taboo around it and it really shouldn't be like that. Good on you both for raising awareness.

The misinformed labelling isn't fair to anyone and more needs to be done to raise awareness of how crippling this is.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing.Helsbelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516496029184291489noreply@blogger.com
