Yes because my depression led indirectly to me losing my career. I began doing things at work (accessing improper web site, i.e.) that I realize now were caused by depression. I would advise anyone, especially men, to never allow your employer to find out you are suffering from depression, or any other mental condition, or risk losing your job. Don't tell me it can't happen because it does. Men with mental illness are treated differently from women. Women are seen as victims while men are seen more as criminals.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member don’t think of it as mental illness just say Mental Health issues as that is what it is.

I’m a yes as well because there is such a misconception and misunderstanding about mental illness, I’m on disability because I have schizoaffective disorder,ptsd, and severe clinical depression… when I’m out there in reality people ask what I do or what my disability is I get very anxious and worried to the point my wife will have to step in and say something that will not exactly express what issues I have. It is a sad place when there is so much misinformation

That's the way I feel when it comes to dating

I've been ashamed and embarrassed for years. That's part of why I haven't tried to date anyone in over a decade. I'm on disability so I don't have much money to go out. And I also worry that people won't be able to handle dealing with my depression and anxiety
