It would help to know and talk to some real life people who struggle like I do...
Anyway, I have a few friends, that are little more than coworkers. But I don't know if I trust them enough to tell them I'm Bipolar...
Has anyone had any positive feedback after telling friends you were Bipolar??

Honestly, I don't know if I am doing this right, but I get where you're coming from so I will try to see if this is posted to you. Yes, believe it or not, a lot of people who really do care for you as a person will take the news exceptionally well, others who are afraid of the stigma of any mental health conversation will be less receptive. In my experience it was worth taking the chance to talk with the ones you believe you can trust. Good luck with all you encounter, and I will be around this site if you want someone who is also going through similar situations to talk with. I have a Bi polar 2 diagnosis.
