to add to the good thoughts already posted...i am careful who i share my MI with. i'm not ashamed. just know a lot of ppl don't understand mental illness. it avoids ppl blaming everything on my bipolar when a lot of the time my behavior is just being human with faults and good traits.
u've got a good attitude, bugs, and with that you can achieve having a fulfilling life.  best to you. 
oh and welcome to pc!!!!
