In your case you chose to announce your declining mental health in a thread. I don't think that the forum was the place to do this as it would only attract the voyeuristic type of spectator/commentator. I have witnessed people having a nervous breakdown and the most dignified thing I reckon is to afford them the private space to get help.

Bipolar and other associated disorders affect more than the individual and I believe that this should not be so public. Untreated illnesses have a habit of coming back and I am more than happy to block this account if need be. I do not blame the individual for being ill; I just think this is the wrong place to make a display of it.
