I tend to overshare when I am hypo too. Years back when I was first diagnosed I told everyone. It felt like, wow I finally have an answer to all my crazy behaviour! I thought everyone else would be just as thrilled as me to find out there was a reason for this all and it wasnt just my personality. I never knew there was much a stigma associated with it.

I have been treated differently by people but most of the time people still treat me well. I no longer tell new people I meet, but if the anxiety gets bad and I need a moment, someone else will whisper to those wondering - "dont worry about her she has bipolar/anxiety". Im not trusted with much at work, and honestly I havent given them a reason to trust me, I forget constantly so its best if I am not given too much responsibility, and I get stressed easily so high stress jobs are no good for me either. They know and accept me.

All in all, while I regret so many people knowing about my private medical condition it has not really affected me in a negative way. Thats not to say I havent been treated badly, but the majority of the time people are accepting and kind.
