Its really only been in the last 10 months that I have started to tell people that I have mental health problems..
I've always been worried that people would look at me differently or treat me differently if they knew..
I know its a silly thing to worry about, but we are all different and deal with things differently, and for me I dont like to seem different..
I have a slightly higher IQ than normal, but I have always tried
to hide that, as I didnt want to be different or have people expect more of me than I could give .. I also tend to use the opposite side of my brain than most right handed people, so I tend to see things in pictures rather than words .. That in itself can make me look less intelligent than I am, because sometimes I just dont get something when its explained to me because I cant get pictures to make me see what I should.
Has anyone else had problems telling people about themselves...
