I'm a bit like this, mostly with people that aren't close to me. I'll say depression and anxiety usually.

I've only just been diagnosed (again) by my new pdoc who is really good, but it's still been a lot to take in and I have told people close to me. It was weird even telling my best friend though. She has depression. You just don't know how people are going to react.

My friends that also have bipolar or mental illnesses I usually feel ok to talk about it with, but I just judge the situation first before I say anything.

This might change and I might get more comfortable telling people, but it took me 4 years to go back to a pdoc and get diagnosed again as I didn't want to accept it...
