I've only told friends (who kinda already knew), family, my supervisor (who is more like a mom to me) and a few trusted coworkers. I blog about being bipolar, but it's pretty anonymous. I have to be careful who knows because I'm a social worker and I don't want to lose my job. Plus, as Red Panda mentioned, I'm pretty functional, even at my worst. I've only been outpatient hospitalized once and that was when I was 19. I'm 31 now, so a long time ago.
