How are you dealing with Stigma?

It's harsh outthere in the world when someone hears "Bipolar," so do you share or keep quiet? Do you say you have Bipolar or do you say that your loved one has it? I think both are hard to spit out. And questions arise like, "Why should we?," "Why not?," "What will happen?," and many others.

Just letting you know, be cautious. Though even psychologists, who are your colleagues, or students to be someday psychologists, all have stigma. Try to think of it as hurting your leg. What would happen if you step on it. It will hurt but you also need to get to work. So, what do you choose?
