Hey guys! I was wondering if you tell friends and bf/gf about your mental health problems. About being in treatment and taking meds.

If you do? How do you know how much to tell, who to tell, what to tell?

The thing is I had a mental breakdown a year ago. It was after a very stressful event. I was hospitalized. I'm in treatment now, therapy and meds (antidep + mood stabilizer). I'm not sure if I should share this with people that I meet from now on.

I'm doing fine right now. And had no other symptoms. My doc says it probably was a "once-in-a-lifetime-episode".

So I don't know if I should leave it behind or share it.

Would love to know what you guys think.
