I've told my close family (parents, brothers). I have no friends, and I haven't told anyone else.

It wasn't a terrible or great decision. They really don't understand it for the most part, and don't seem very interested in attempting to understand. I get the feeling they think I don't have any issue, that they feel like I'm just making things up. Yeah.

I could vote for two of you choices- other and worst decision. My mother and father know very well about my illness, but they have trouble to understand it. They used to ignore it until I got worse. Maybe its because of their soviet style eduction which teaches that anyone must be normal. But my mother helped me to pass school because I have math disability, but they still don't understand some aspects of my problem. I have told one of my friends of my illness, but he also don't seem to understand and even thinks that I don't have any illness and I just pretending, because I am evil. But he has mental problems himself, he just fails to acknowledge it.
