I have Bipolar and deal with a great deal of depression.. when depressed we mostly feel worthless and want to keep things to ourself regardless of how it may harm others. Because we think we are saving others from our distorted warped way of thinking.

Right now due to my chronic pain I am not only depressed but lots of sui thinking, will I tell my husband? Very unlikely, I’ll just get through to day and then the hours until it’s another dad. People with mental illness don’t like to share most of it with our loved ones. But I can be 100% honest with friends that struggle like I do. Maybe she struggles too?
