Same here, no surprise revelations there.

Of others… 2 come immediately to mind. One I met in recent times, very open about it. (Even though I wanted sooo much to tell him that I did too, I'm unbelievably glad I didn't. Fairly complex story, involving a malevolent non-BP.)

The other was after-the-fact. One of the guys I went out with in high school. About a year later, word was he "flipped out and got put on lithium" (we were both at different colleges, had no contact). Though my own world went totally off-kilter not long after, it was many years before I actually got dx'd. But when I was, this came back to mind. It also came back to mind that his mother was the fastest talker I've ever heard in my life. WAAAAAY fast. Lol, given genetics, it's not unreasonable to imagine that she was too.

I'm sure there are others. Probably quite a few. But I've moved a lot and not gotten to know people. Which works both ways. Nobody had much time to put the pieces together.
