It’s a shame that in our advanced, sophisticated society, mental illness continues to be so stigmatized. When you make a new friend or for single folks, when do you tell a “new” date that you have not just one but two mental disorders? (In my case Bipolar and Generalized Anxiety Disorder). Do you tell them at all? When’s the right time for you? For me it’s pretty early on now because it was my shameful secret in my life that few people know of. I kept it a secret. Until one day I realized, this isn’t my fault. I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t choose my genetic makeup. I finally realized I didn’t need to keep it a secret and feel ashamed of it. I needed to “come out” so to speak and admit it and blog about it, in an effort to help me along on my path of acceptance and if I’m lucky helping some others along the way… so, when do you tell potential “new” people in your life?
