Hi. I'm not ready to play the dating game yet but it is something I have on my mind a lot. Once I find someone to date and that I trust and it looks like heading into a relationship... do I need to tell this person I have Bipolar II (2) and if so, how do I do it? Does it really ever need to be brought up? But then again, if something happens or whatever the guy would need to know why I take medication or if I have a relapse or something... I just dont know what to do! In the pass, my long term partners have known I had depression. It did cause some stress but mostly it all worked out (obviously we split for personal reasons) but it scares me that in this day and age, a guy is NOT going to understand or care or whatever about the illness or shrug it off as nothing serious yet when I breakdown, he will just walk out. I'm so scared that this f**king thing is going to rule my life forever... job wise, family wise and love wise. Help! Serious answers only.
