Mate this is a hard one. About 2.5 years ago when I knew I had really lost it in a big way I took a deep breath and told my immediate boss and the Vice President of group in which I work. Like Ana and Dinah I'm naturally pretty tight with personal info so this was a big, no make that huge thing and only possible because of the trust I had in the two of them and they've been great. Apart from that 5 people total outside of family and housemate, all of whom I thought it was important to share it with for various reasons and who I trust completely. Family have been completely useless about it and housemate thinks it's all BS but has at least kept it to themself. My rule of thumb is that if the relationship with that person is important to me and I trust them enough to honour my privacy then I'll tell them.
