Mental Illness Awareness Week is almost over!

I am happy to see campaigns on social media and media in general about fighting the stigma surrounding mental illness but it makes me wonder... should I step out and identify myself on this blog? Do I have the courage? Would it be helpful or worth it for others? Would it actually be bad for me? The only places where I am open about my mental illnesses is at 12 step meetings and church. I've already spoken at least twice to my whole church about my struggles. I suppose it's pretty obvious on facebook since I often post about mental health... I suppose what's stopping me the most is that this blog has details of other people and I want to respect their privacy. Oh well, just a thought.
