I totally accept my dx ... however I tell almost no one ... only one person at work knows ... the rest think I had a breakdown and take meds for that ... I would rather have them think I am si or depressed .. they understand that and have no issue with it ...

ps: the one that knows has been real helpful and alerts me when I sound or act (a little off) ... and does a hell of a job covering my butt when I (just have to be off ... mental health days) .. sometimes at the last minute ...

one a side note my daughter-in law frequently makes fun of people by calling outlandage behaviour as bipolar ... my wife and myself just look at each other ...
