tinytherese Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Most people don't know about my depression and mild autism. I'm too afraid because of stigmas and misconceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Everyone knows about my husband's schizophrenia. He's very public about it. On the other hand, he's so high functioning that many people think he doesn't have symptoms anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you even go to such a place where you can't tlk about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byzantine Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Our parish is very welcoming of my sister, who's high functioning, as well as of a friend of mine, who's somewhat... less well-off, I'd say. I think pretty much everyone knows about my sister's diagnosis. Edited July 20, 2013 by Byzantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 We have a group home next to our parish, and several of the men show up to daily Mass to get their daily hugs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
