My immediate family knows. My dad, well I haven't talked to him since IP last year because of what he told me when I ended up there. So I don't thing he is supportive. My mom, well she was there everyday when I was there despite us having difficulties with each other. I was extremely grateful. She doesn't quite get it, but she's been trying. She now has a coworker with bipolar disorder and she has been asking her a lot of questions to get a better understanding of what I'm dealing with and it really has helped. My sister, I don't think she knows too much about it, but she is supportive. She came with my nephew to visit me last year too when in IP. I've told a few cousins, and that's about it, not too much negativity on my end. At least with my generation, the "elders" I don't bother going into it.
