When you're blah? In general?
As far as I can tell this falls into several categories:
a) Dr
b) Other professionals
c) Family
d) Friends
e) Employer

[*]a) Dr - I admit to being emotional and try to explain, but not easily in the midst of them. This is only with the pdoc. Don't want to share with any other dr. Don't even authorize the pdoc to talk to pcp.[*]b) therapist - goodness, I cry in every session! I still try to suppress it though. Both the therapist and psychiatrist are pretty much in the know because I write it all out when I'm down and email them.[*]c) family - They know I get moody - but I hide from them when I am feeling bad and won't admit to it unless they call me on it. I don't like the possibility of breaking down in front of someone. Hard enough breaking down with my therapist.[*]d) friends - No close friends right now. When I'm down I don't seem to be able to reach out though.[*]e) employer - they know I'm in treatment. I'm on part-time disability. They don't know the specific dx - although the state might since they're paying the disability pay. My immediate boss knows I'm delicate, but I hide when I'm down and they only become aware when they catch me crying or something.
Interesting question.
