my family know (as you all know), and that's why they kicked me out.

as for everyone else, well, I think it just depends on how much I trust someone, or if I feel safe with someone.

I have been asked by several people if I am, and in those cases I do tell them yes, I am.

sometimes if i'm with someone and something happens to make people suspicious about it, I will say yes.. I'm bipolar.

the other time I might mention it is if it's impacting something we're doing

like someone wants to do something, but i'm in a low depressed mood, i'll say something like.. well, I would, but this dam bipolar is making it hard.

i'm quite open really (a complete reverse from how I was when I was first diagnosed). if i'm asked, yeah, i'll talk about it

if something happens, yeah, i'll talk about it.

how important to you is self care?
