I'm no one to give any advice, and certainly not educated in any such fields. I can not help recalling someone here saying "do not tell anyone". None of their business. I had only two friends (mostly) and they disappeared after I told them. In my tiny town everyone knows your business; if they can get it. Then their are those who love to gossip. And then their are those who know "nothing" about any mental illness what-so-ever. Many of them will see you as a vampire or something. They turn a nose up in the air, then go on with their personal life.
