Skid, with all due respect mate, you do not have any idea of how many posters may be in the same position as you portray.
Very rarely will a person suffering from acute, median or slight mental health issues, open up on a public forum and let all assundry to see.
As you indicated, it's not a badge any of us are proud to wear. If people open up they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they do they are "attention seekers", if they don't they make rash comments which quickly get them thrown into the "fruitcake conspiracy basket".
We are all what we are, good, bad and ugly. I've never tried to throw a stone whilst inside a glass house, I couldn't afford the replacement quite frankly!
Just be aware that this forum is about opinions, of which mine seem to be in the minority, but hey ho, they are my opinions.
