Today was positive. A friend and I went on a hike in a natural area this morning. It was great to be outdoors. We have known each other for about 40 years. I had thought about telling him that I have recently been finally diagnosed as bipolar and prescribed meds for it. But I didn't tell him. Looking back, I have had times of mild mania for decades but did not seek help for it...

Anyone else have trouble telling friends about being bipolar? Suggestions?

Thanks!
