I have great stigma and fear from even telling people at all. I find that there is no good way to tell people. I fear the label that will be thrust upon me more then I can face. I can't even talk to my family much about my condition. I fear that because this is an invisible disease that others just think I making it up. All this results in a feeling of why bother they would not understand anyway. Some of my family have stated I just need to move on with it! I get the feeling that they think I am not trying to get better when in fact I am fighting to overcome. Good luck to all in facing the demons that plague us being able to talk about being Bipolar to others.
