One of my goals with posting about mental illness (of any kind) is to help other people understand it from other perspectives, and hopefully dismiss some of the stigma surrounding it. "Mental illness" sounds so scary, but there are SO many people with various forms of it and they seem to be ordinary people living ordinary lives.

It was SO very hard to do the public things I've done--I really like to avoid the spotlight when I can.
