I was recently diagnosed with major depressive disorder with anxious distress last December and have been going through it. However, I do kind of find it weird that I'm super open to what happened to me. I am a pretty talkative person I suppose but is it weird that I am open about it?   


I guess I've kind of looked at my MDD as sort of like a broken arm or leg - one, as a way to tell myself that I am sick and that it is a real thing (not just blaming myself for it and dismissing it); and two, to also, you know, be able to talk about it and sort of normalize it for myself.   


Has anybody experienced the same?
