Hi, I think all fo us go through the who to tell, and who not to tell. I'm even still in that stage. I of course told my husband and children. I told my brother, bu the's not sure that I really have it, I told my sister, she is for sure I have it. I haven't told any of my other siblings, they just wouldn't understand, and there would be no benefit. I told my father, but he just kind of when dead to the fact. My mother died of commiting suicied at the age of 49, she was bipolar 1. Although my parents had been divorced for over 20 years at that time, I guess he didn't want to think about it. Plus he's one of these don't ever take meds kind of guys. Any way, every person, and situation is different. At first, I wanted all my different dictors to know about it. now I don't, but sometimes you have no choice, and when they read the meds your on, they'll guess it any way. So, see what works best for you, and tell the ones whom are closest to you, that will give you the most support. Take care.
