> Question for you all: When you do you disclose to someone (whether it's a friend, relative, or someone you're romantically involved with) that you are in therapy? When do you disclose your diagnosis?

when I find out that they are in therapy and that they have a diagnosis ;-)
seriously though, I really have to feel pretty safe with that person, and feel like they are at least a little psychologically minded
Most of the time (I like to think anyway) it's not terribly obvious, but sometimes I really think it is obvious, that "something" is going on with me.
I give just as much info as I think they can handle. Only the really close people get the details. My relatives however know the least of all.
