So you've now attached your name to admissions of psychosis. I understand your motivations on some level, but I sincerely hope that you don't regret doing so in

  i've done this so many times it's not funny. it hasn't stopped me from getting a job yet. my thinking is that this stuff will come out eventually anyhow, so it's better to be up front about it. people seem to like honesty.

    Do you feel like you might be enjoying a privileged freedom that many can not hope to take advantage of? For example, I bet you enjoy both a solid competency in your field, and a relatively free or permissive social environment. Things may be a lot different if an unskilled worker in a repressive society were put in a situation where their social life was highly exposed. I don't know what the exact balance is here, but I feel wary of taking your example as an all-clear on the privacy alarm.

      i agree that you're probably a right. a lawyer probably couldn't get away with it like i've been able to do. my naive hope is that by being open like this i'll encourage others to do the same - if everybody was open about the struggles they faced as human beings, i think we'd all be struggling a lot less than we are.

        Unfortunately, in many walks of life, admission of one's struggles is seen as a sign of weakness, and there are lots of people who want to prey on the (perceived) weak.
