My family knows because of my many, many hospitalizations. Couldn't exactly hide it. I really don't have many friends. I have told three coworkers that I know I can trust not to spread it around and so far they haven't. But I prefer to keep it close to me. I just don't like talking about it to a bunch of people that don't understand.

My husband however has no problem telling people (his friends) about my struggles, which annoys me sometimes. Especially the fact that I've had ECT. On New Years he told our two neighbors (and everyone who happened to be around the damn fire) that That's why I couldn't remember the specific incident they were talking about. I was super embarrassed. But I talked to my husband and he said he didn't know it would bother me and that he wouldn't do it again. So hopefully he hasn't.
