No, therefore I am to ashamed. I have kept it long 'hidden' for others but of course they saw that something was going on, especially with my bipolar disorder. When I was manic I did a lot and talked to everyone you could not stop me, i was everywhere.
after that i often got in a depression, total opposite. I began to isolate and spoke to no one, very confusing for people around me. Some people were angry and did not understand what was going on. it certainly broke friendships. Eventually I decided to be open to my good close friends(not many) about my diagnosis.

That was a good decision, not that it is an excuse for my behavior. But now they know they understand it more and sometimes see before me the signals and alerting me to take a step back.
