To admit any weakness in terms of mental hygiene is taboo. Even today. It's forever an invitation for others to question your actions/moods/beliefs as somehow entirely subject to past injury or affliction.

We link personality with mind as a society. Admitting to a sickness of the mind is a prelude to admitting to a sickness of personality.

I take great pains to manage my illness and practice good hygiene. It's more upkeep for me than maybe for others and I'm forever going to shoulder this burden. I have good days and bad days. Part of the therapy is learning how to distinguish the actions I take because of past feelings from those sourced from my true self. It's not always easy.

There's certainly plenty of abuse posted in response to comments here.
