I opened up and told 2 girlfriends the other night... One said she has depression probs and used to self harm and the other says her son has schizophrenia dx. I'm so grateful finally feel like I have 2 in real life, real, good friends. We're all closer now it seems. They're texting and checking in and I'm grateful. It's been a long time coming, I have barely told anyone. It's awesome to find people who are kind and understanding and not at all judgmental. Not all people are like that so I'm pretty guarded otherwise. I'm not ashamed of bp, just feel it's personal basis and hopefully my decision of who knows. I hope it's gone ok for you if you decided to tell them.
