yes, exactly! I don't have anyone outside of my wife and kids who even understands or wants to understand my bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression. (I did recently disclose my condition to my bro in law and his wife and they were great). I think I should just keep it all to myself especially when others don't even want to try and be sympathetic to my mental health struggles. I think I'll be all the better for it. it is also quite against who I am deep down inside because I used to wear my heart on my sleeve.
