I've started telling people recently, but for the most part I keep it secret. I test people, to be honest, see how they take certain things, see if it's wise to tell them. I have a couple of friends that know, and I've been lucky that they're all understanding and basically great people. The faculty and staff I've told are also similarly understanding.

But in my culture, in general, there is a lot of stigma attached to mental illness, and being a somewhat collectivistic society, everyone knows everyone. You can't only think about how the stigma would affect you personally.
