i never tell people i am bipolar, bulimic, and borderline. it's just too crazy for people to hear, and it is !! hahaha. sometimes i will allude to having manic periods if i am hanging out with artists/musician types. but most of the time, i keep things to myself unless i am feeling depressed. i find that more people are open to hearing about depression than anything else because they have experienced some degree of it themselves.
