There is a common comment about how people struggle with having an open dialogue about their mental illness because those who are close to them don’t believe them. People might have difficulty with their diagnosis or might not even know what is specifically going on within them which makes it hard to articulate that to other people. The way in which you communicate is important when speaking to others about your mental illness and no matter how the other party might react to it, we believe you.
