Totally depends on the situation for me. Most of the time its a coworker because I rarely go anywhere otherwise. So to them I just say Im doing well. If someone who knows whats been going on asks but Im not close to them I will usually just say Im doing a lot better thanks. And if its one of the very few people who actually care I will be totally honest.

Im not sure what ok really is anymore though. I feel ok right now because Im not suicidal and I have been managing to take my meds and not do anything self-destructive but there are lots of moments where I have a total breakdown and Im still mildly depressed so how ok can I really be if thats still happening.
