I write a blog. It started off fairly lighthearted but a couple of years ago, I got quite ill and started writing about my struggles with mental illness. Mainly anxiety. The feedback from friends and colleagues has been overwhelmingly positive.
My DH has always thought I shared too much. I do write about very personal things but a) it helps me to write about it and b) I know it helps others as I've had lots of messages from people saying so. We've disagreed about the things I've published in the past and so he decided to just not read my blog. The problem is my mother in law still reads it and often talks to him about the things I've said.
Tonight, we've had an argument because I said I wanted to write about my experiences of having an eating disorder in the past. I wanted to warn him as I knew my mother in law would tell him about it. No one knows about the eating disorder, so it may come as a shock to some people, but it's only recently after having therapy that I feel ready to open up about this.
He thinks I put too much of myself out there and that this will come back to bite me. I just can't see how raising awareness can be a bad thing. AIBU to write about this?
