Hey adv. I have mental illness, but recently I've been diagnosed with bipolar ii.
I've been pretty open about my depression and anxiety with my friends and family. Should I continue to be?
I'm afraid people's opinions will change. Suddenly I'll go from "person having a hard time" to "fucking crazy."
I don't know how to feel. The medications one can take for this have wicked, bad side affects. But it's better than wanting to kill myself I guess?
I don't know what to think or what to do.

I stopped telling people, it's none of their business.
Have you tried cycling through the alternative medications available to you? A person I know was cycling through a number of different kinds over the course of a year because the side effects were too bad to deal with.

Don't tell people about that. Why would you? It doesn't give you any advantage.
