When do you make personal struggles public?

As many of you know, I have many struggles regarding mental illness that I am public about. When I am struggling, as I was severely last week, I kept it in. I kept it inside. I told a very select number of people of my internal pain. I didn't want judgement. I didn't want people thinking I was just "looking for attention". 

And now I'm not sure if it's better to be private about struggles and suffer more personally or to open myself up to support and the potential for more judgement and pain.

It's an ongoing question, and a lasting struggle.
