I only let certain people know about my "condition" i take my meds and manage to muddle through when things get bad. I don't put it out to everyone that I have PTSD, Depression and Anxiety issues. It can make things at work hard sometimes, but for the most part I do ok. If I feel it is becoming a problem, I will let someone that NEEDS to know in on the subject.

Stand Up and fight... Don't just accept it ... embrace it and allow it to become part of ... and control it and don't let it control and dominate you ...
don't let it define who and what you are ...
ask for help and get it and walk away with it behind you and not in front of you... use it as a corner stone and Build up and out not as a crutch and walk around crippled by it...
