How many of you guys share your diagnosis with family? My husband obviously knows but what about parents and siblings? I've told my sisters that I have bipolar disorder but I am so scared to tell them I have BPD. My family is moving in with my parents for a couple of months while we relocate to a new city and find new housing. I am concerned because I am going to be doing a DBT group therapy and some individual counseling and I am worried about what to tell them. My parents are really religious and would be totally freaked if they knew I self harmed. Ugh what to do? Should I tell them I'm bipolar? That I have BPD? Or ideally nothing?
