Other than having to tell my doctors? I don't get asked the question. I dare say unfortunately I'm too good at hiding it.
I think my mom has been in denial about me for a very long time, she's made up some image of me that's more capable than I really am. Maybe based on how well I carry on regardless. So she was surprised to find out I was in therapy, but I told her up front I didn't want to talk about why(she still tried to pry a little).
My brother and his wife did me a huge favor in the therapy process, so I gave them the opportunity to ask me anything.
But yeah, other than that, I don't think anyone knows.
