You only have to tell someone if you want to. If they will be likely to help and support you. You are under no obligation to tell your family unless you feel like it. God knows I am not telling my family!
I will never tell my work either. No way. I did tell one coworker but that's because she is my good buddy and she is bipolar too.
I have told my hubby, two friends, and my postpartum mood disorder support group.
You will decide who to tell with time and some therapy
