Cece,
I will be in a similar situation soon. Here is my thinking. I sometimes feel like going public with my full name is honourable and credible. It puts a face on depression and helps other sufferers recognize themselves. However, it does put myself at risk. I run my own business and it could be embarrasing or even cost business.
I have concluded, for now, that I do not have the kind of profile that raises the profile of an issue. I am one of the sufferers. There is little to be gained using my name and much to be lost.
