I've told some people. My mom knows I have bipolar, but she doesn't know it was upgraded to schizoaffective. My wife and dad both know about my schizoaffective. I loved my dad's response when i was trying to explain what it was. He said, "So you're f***ing nuts, so what?" There are a couple of coworkers I've told, and to me, that has been beneficial. They are two people outside of my family I can talk to, and they also help cover my work when I'm having a hard time. However, I do not think that telling a coworker is for everyone. I think it really depends on your personal circumstances. Like has already been said, you shouldn't feel like you have to tell someone about your dx. Really weigh the pros and cons. If you want to tell someone and feel there is something to benefit from telling them, go for it, if not, don't say anything.
