profile honesty

Mental illness or whatever label you want to use is part of our society and shouldnt be shunned anymore than any other disability. My ex is bi polar and so over 11 years I really got to know what that means and it would never therefore stop me meeting anyone who was. Some of the best people in life are on or over the edge and are often the most creative, intelligent and funny people to meet. Not sure myself what side of the edge I am on anyway lol

:lol:
Maybe because I have lived with depression in its extremes it doesnt phase me. I am tired of people being labelled anyway. I am coming out of all boxes.

sorry going off the thread a little here but in response to an earlier comment
the medical profession are in a no win situation, people come looking for answers and a diagnosis, you need to diagnose to treat, then are accused of labelling people
funny how people dont seem to object to labels such as stroke, epilepsy, diabetes etc etc
there is diagnostic criteria used by specialists but that doesnt mean that some non specialists use this and yes are quick to offer a diagnosis after a 5 min consultation

I read this thread and at first wasnt going to post, I was feeling very ~~bleugh~~ at time ( is only way to describe it)..
I then went to doc's - long story not for public airing.. and have been signed off work with depression... I then remembered some comments I had read about wether people should be on here with things like depression - and to be honest at first thought I should take a back step from SH..
Then I realised what wonderful friends I have on here, who in the last few weeks have been very supportive, and after a few days away, I have realised that I am for staying smile

On our second visit I think it was we was chatting to a couple who we seemed to be getting on with. We was on the borders of playing with them when the female half of this couple that we met in the pub, pulled me aside.
She told me the guy had a false leg. Now I know some people may see a catch phrase coming here, but there is not one. So we are talking about honesty here, and this couple had done to others what they were about to do to us.
Go upstairs to play and then discover the guy only had one leg. Now we may well not have had a problem with this BUT they should have mentioned it, and we later found out they had done this before and the other females had freaked out when they had suddenly been made aware of this.
Certainly no laughing matter, though we did see a sort of funny side to it afterwards.....motto, always be honest and expect honesty in return and you won't go too far wrong.

This (the scenaro quoted above) is why I am honest to a fault when it comes to my ongoing medical problems.
It doesnt stop me enjoying sex nor will it for a long while yet (fingers crossed) but I am open and honest about what it is I have and how it affects me. However people I speak to on the forums dont need to know ALL about it but anyone I want to meet DOES. So I make sure they understand what it is, how it affects me, how it looks, the whole lot, then if they want to walk away they can.
So far no one has been put off but one day someone will say eww no thanks and I will say OK thanks for the chat anyway lol

Whoever said we dont need to know about things from years ago is correct I dont mention that I had severe post natal depression when my girls were babies cos it has no baring on my life now, but my HS does so I tell people. But then my condition is quite uncommon so most have no idea what it is, so if by telling people I can help raise awarness then its a win win situation :twisted:
Horny wife
