Hmmm...I don't broadcast it to everyone I meet, but I will tell friends and family. I don't want them to find it out on their own, I think it makes it harder on them that way. :)

I wouldnt and dont tell anybody anymore. Thats topsecret info given out on a need to know basis . Other than my wife and strum I wouldnt tell anybody.

My lifes an open book, honestly, I know I'm the exception to the rule, but I talk about bipolar as casually as I talk about my high blood pressure, and because I'm that casual, so are the people I tell. I know it doesn't work for everybody but I've been lucky

I don't tell anyone but the people here. My husband and close family know, but that is all.

I tell most people. Not my work right away.

Same as whoami #19.

My tdoc tells me no one needs to know because its like having any other illness that you are medicated for. Its really noe of their business.
