I fought my diagnosis for quite a while (even though it was pretty obvious to everybody close to me). Just take care of YOU, get some well-earned rest and hopefully meds adjusted. Remember, med changes take a while to kick in, so don't think it didn't "work" right off the bat. I told people in bits and pieces- my mom, then my dad, then my brother. When I was dating, I told when it felt right. I'm pretty open on social media, but I haven't told at work (which is funny, because I'm in a mental health field). I did get FMLA at work, so I can take time off, protected, with no questions asked. The big thing is to take care of yourself and let people know when you feel safe. Good luck to you
