Relationships - 5 - Thorny Subjects

There are things we talk to some people about and others we definitely don't. Mental Health issues are just one thing that still has so much stigma, even our own learned stigma from negative judgemental press makes it difficult to talk about our own mental health issues and how it affects us everyday.

It sometimes seems too much of an effort to explain things that it's easier to agree to just being a 'wee bit depressed' or 'just stressed' than actually saying what is really going on and how am I really feeling.

"How are you?" I think is the most often untruthfully answered question. "...I'm fine."
