When to tell someone you’re dating about your BPD?
Hope you‘ll having a positive Sunday! I‘ve been resting after an intense and triggering psych evaluation yesterday for our invalid insurance. Am glad it‘s over but my thoughts are spinning and I‘m having a difficult day. But I know tomorrow will be better.
So, two weeks ago I met a guy I‘d like to get to know better and he‘s also pretty interested. We‘ve only had a date, but we have been chatting loads, and I know that it‘s no where near time to tell him. But that arose the question of when??
Until now i have only dated people who have known about my mental health so I have no experience. I also just feel so many topics are also linked with my health such as being off work, family ties, needing a lot of rest, my many appointments during the week and I just hate to keep having to think of omitting answers so that I don‘t start dating on lies. Also today was so tough and I would have liked to be honest about my day rather than staying superficial, which just isn‘t me.
What are your experiences and do you have any advice?
