Don't tell... Unless you trust the person. My opinion is we will change the stigma, but it's slow going because some people will use it against you or just drop out of your life. I wait until I'm pretty close to someone before I discuss.

I have a gf known her almost a year, we shared some past troubles etc. and I told her my dx. Like most she said You don't seem to have that! But I told her well I have this history & get some really bad depression & let her know ahead of time how sad I was how many friends I've lost cuz I go into isolation mode. So in August when I went downhill, she was a little prepared for it. She gave me space & understood when I'd text I just can't talk or go out right now & I'm sorry I'm in the depression, thanks for being my friend, I'll get better but this is what I was telling you about... I trust her & my judgment was right she is still my friend & won't leave me.
