I dont know if i should have told my aunt about my illness

She knew I was on medicines for bipolar… she is quite judgmental and when I was young she was one of the ones who would call me shy and not want to meet people…

I told her when I was young the reason why I didnt come downstairs was because I feared being hated… things were happening at school that was making me depressed and even contemplated suicide before I was a teenager…

I told her this stuff still effects me… i said my partner knows everything about me and hadn’t judged me not once…

Well, now you just have to do damage control. You already told her, so just think on how you’ll deal with fallout.

I make no secret of my diagnosis. Then deal with the fallout based on the person.

I’ve only had one “friend” stop talking to me. But tgat was mainly due to my manic and depressive behavior. Its ok because I was ready to stop talking to her based on how she treats people on welfare.

There’s no fall-out and frankly if she decides never to talk to me its OK…
I didnt say I thijk she judged me to her… i said I used to avoid people because I was struggling … i just want people to know that I’m not deliberately like this
