Animal87, I share my diagnosis with very few people. None of my co-workers know because I am afraid it would cause problems at my work.
Some of my friends know. It's not had any impact on those relationships. Well, I have one friend who kind of disses the fact I take meds, but she is opposed to meds for anything.
I have noticed when I see a new doc for a medical problem their demeanor changes when they see I'm on antidepressants. Some have become dismissive of my symptoms, chalking them up to depression. Others take it as one more diagnosis on the laundry list of medical problems I have.
