How open are you about your mental illness?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37358points) January 27th, 2011

(Please note, this question is in general.)

I have mental illness and live on disability payments. I have found in the past that when I am open and honest about my illness, people leave. They cut me off. All of them.

I learned to never disclose my illness with anyone from these experiences.

What is the experience of other jellies with mental illness? Are you open about it, or do you keep it to yourself?
