I've learned to be pretty evasive, to omit. But it's unnatural to me.

That's what I was going to say. I HATE lying and my memory is **** so I'm usually pretty open. I was always pretty open about the ADHD. I'll joke about it. I don't advertise Bipolar but I'm chummy w/ my supervisor so I told her. She knew I'm on intermittent FMLA but she wouldn't know for what. Not so sure I'd advertise BPD but the friends I'm tight with, it would be no surprise. So them and my sisters. The ONLY thing I conceal is the situation w/ my husband so if anyone asks what's up there, I use the Facebook status of "it's complicated." Lol.
