I wasn't diagnosed with BP until *after* I finished my master's. If I had known I was BP, I probably would have requested accommodations.
But no, I don't really tell anyone... except for those who need to know. Usually those people are doctors of some kind. Also, my Dx is pretty recent, so I haven't even had the opportunities to tell anyone. (I was Dx'd in August 2015 and given BP meds, but the diagnosis wasn't made official until December 2015 when I did a full neuropsych eval with a psychologist.)
