I'm mainly into showing too. I don't know if you have similar classifications in the US, but I do mainly working hunters, show hunters and side-saddle. I came off ponies a few years ago and have just kept my 15hh horse for local things (he's got too many lumps and bumps these days for anything too serious!). I've done ok at national level, but nothing spectacular. While I'm away at uni I haven't got time to do anything serious with my own horse, so just compete on the uni team which is a bit of a laugh.
It is so true that the stigma surrounding psychological problems prevents you seeking out people around you who might be going through similar things. I like hiding it tho', its my protective shield.
