The only person who knows I am in therapy is my husband! I wouldn't have told him if he didn't have to pay for it...expect I am big on honesty in marriage. What I am saying is I want to keep it private. My children don't even know and because my work is out of my home and I make appt's different places all week I don't have to explain my therapy time.
I do feel alone in what I talk about in therapy but I find it safer. My life has been very public and it seems everyone wants to analyze my every move. I will not open the door for them to be a part of the truth of how I really feel.
I wouldn't really know about MI stigma since nobody knows my problems. I think I choose to not share due to the posibility of the stigma!
I am very grateful for BABBLE!!!
