I am, including with my department chair and admin. One of my colleagues- one of my best friends - committed suicide last year. I’ve gotten involved with mental health initiatives since, and I’ve been open about my PTSD. People need to know they are not alone and that it’s not shameful to have mental health issues.

While it’s true that it’s not shameful, there is still stigma attached. Because of my mental illness, I took a few years off. When I went back (my meds were working and I was on a schedule and compliant), my doctor told me that I was the “last person in the world who should be teaching.” I took that as a sign that I needed a new doctor. All of that is to say that stigma is still very real.

I definitely am with my admin and my department head. My mental health ailments are bad enough that I have been hospitalized for them, so I make sure they know if I’m starting to struggle and what symptoms to look for (especially since I don’t always recognize them myself).
It’s actually pretty liberating to be able to talk about it with non-medical professionals. And it does a lot for my willingness to fight back against mental health stigmas.

It’s a blessing to have this level of support. Thank you for sharing your story 😊
I am with my students—never about the circumstances (except at the end of the year when it’s about saying goodbye to my seniors). I want them to know that it’s not abnormal to be depressed or having a hard time emotionally. I also want them to know the reason for why I’m sluggish or moody or less motivated or in sweats for days at a time. They always show love. I hope this is preparation for their other relationships, whether it’s about them being supportive and understanding or being honest and seeking help.
Other than my kids, I tell my BFF but that’s usually it 😕

I teach AP Psych. One of my students has a gift for body language, facial expressions, & empathy. They really notice my days.
They don’t seem to care about how teachers feel about anything so sharing my mental
Illness won’t do any good. They have assigned me a schedule that already has my anxiety through the roof and depression has been the worst it ever has been but they continue to do what they want to do.
I completely understand and the same happened to me. My school gave me 6 preps for an 8 period day.
I didn’t use to be. But that has changed. I suffer from anxiety and depression. As I teach high school, I know I have many students who suffer silently. We have had students commit suicide. If more students knew they were not the only ones with struggles or felt like it was ok to talk about, it would be a help to them. People have no problem talking about physical illness. Mental illness needs to be just as normalized.

Sometimes, but the pandemic has taught me some strategies. I’m learning to slow down and pace myself which helps with anxiety.
Depends on my relationship with the person. I generally don't like to share when I'm stressed with certain people because I don't want them to think it means they need to advocate for me to my admin, when all I really needed to do was vent as a part of my process.
Of course not! It’s called an inner life because it’s not outer!
My mental health is no one else’s business.
To friends, yes. To other teachers, admins - No. I feel it is none of their business
When I think it will help someone else...either with their own struggles or with understanding why I'm struggling.
My supervisor knows. She lets me take breaks and encourages me to take mental health days when needed. I just got out of a domestic abusive marriage. They are protecting me. Principal and all
Not always. On occasion
More than advisable
Perhaps with trusted friends

No.
No not at all

I have two people who know. I believe that is enough. If something were to happen, they can speak on my behalf; but they are, most importantly, the people I call when I need support and the people who check in on me from time to time.
No. My principal make you feel crazy and stupid.
No.
Chief
No. My mental health issues are mine and my partner’s to deal with.
