Thank you for that perspective. I agree that people aren’t all open about physical health. But you’ll probably agree with me that people are more open about it than about mental health. My question really is whether one should be as open about both.
To take a more extreme example, though I’m also talking about more mundane issues as well, if a person r’l has cancer I think he’s more likely to share that with friends (obviously not all people or all situations) than a person who r’l has schizophrenia is likely to share that information with friends or even extended family. Maybe another example is sharing that one needs some kind of surgery than sharing that one needs treatment for depression.

For those of you queasy about using cloth diapers, offbrand diapers are a great option. Especially Walmart’s in-house brand and Kirkland/Costco diapers. (Btw, to dispel an incorrect notion above, if you do use coth, you could still have disposables for the minority of times it’s needed, like for the babysitter or when traveling.)
Another money saving tip from the pros is to use Costco, BJs or Sam’s Club. Just make sure it makes sense for your family size. And Walmart. They’re usually less expensive than other stores.
And use a prepaid cellphone service. Not directly from the major carriers.

Google it and you’ll find tons of help in getting started by parents who use coth diapers. I’ll bet your parents wore them as it was common when they were kids. I’m sure many readers here have parents who wore them (and some of the readers here themselves probably wore them.)

My father is an askan in some klal matters and I know a lot of kids and young adults directly became frum through their finding and interacting with the rabbis on that website. Many of these kids who became frum after working with Rabbi Shapiro had been OTD. But there were some who were never frum and some who were MO who became more frum. Those were the days.
