I come from a family with a long history of MH issues, too. Which is ironic, since after being diagnosed with depression as a very young child they treated all me like a leper.
I am fortunately to be able to discuss things with my SO. There are a few others I sometimes feel like telling, mostly after I do something terribly socially awkward as a result of my depression and social anxiety. That's how I ended up telling the one other person knows. But I guess I'll always be afraid of garnering the same same 'freakshow' reputation I got from my family....
