Pulling this out of the big burnout thread. Mental health is scary to talk about. I do it because I have a platform, and I want to de-stigmatize it. I also want people to know they aren’t alone. But again - scary to talk about.

But a few people decided to go after me still, and berate me for it. And I mean - I have a thick skin. I’ve been called worse. But it doesn’t help. It doesn’t make people want to be honest and vulnerable. Just food for thought.

Seeing you talk about it helped me a lot, actually. Also I’ve learned people who really rail against mental health advocacy tend to not have had a similar experience. Don’t let them get to you, and thank you for being so open.

I'm really glad it helped. It took me a while to understand what was going on with me and my mental health, and it frustrated me to no end that I couldn't seem to get 'better'.
