I'm very open about it. I don't tell everyone, but my friends and family know that I have BP. If I feel it's relevant I'll even tell people I'm not close to. I want to de stigmatize mental illness and do my part to encourage open conversation about it. Now I don't know if i'd tell work if I had a job right now. Then I would be worried about stigma affecting my job security. So that's me.
