I don't like saying that I have mental health "issues" but it has been the easiest way to say it. How do you phrase it?

I'm completely honest with people and accepting of my illnesses. If someone calls me shy I correct them.

I understand that you don't want to talk about it with others and that it isn't their business. I like to be open and honest with people about everything about me. Please do not think I am angr here - I completely understand your perspectives

@A MyDepressionTeam Member thanks - I don't see it as a deficiency, but more just part of who I am.
