You know Susan, you bring up a good point. I have this old habit of trying to get close to (and ultimately get crushes on) authority figures in my life (previous bosses, professors, my therapist, etc.) and I question whether I am looking to tell him as a way of sharing something personal so we will be close. But I don't think that's really the whole story. I spent a lot of today with those people that he partners with and all of those people now know I have bipolar disorder. I just think it's weird to not tell him when all these other people know. But then again, there was a reason to tell all these other people, and there isn't really an imminent reason to tell my boss.
Thanks for your two cents!
