If truly you are managing the mental health challenges and you are taking your medication according to prescription, don't tell her anything about it, keep playing and hoping that it shall be well with you.

Tell her that you once had a nervous break down. Don't tell her that you once had mental issues.

I'm surprise you guys are asking him to tell her,there are things that should stay with you forever.Op if you tell her now and she break up with you your mental problem may be trigger again. Please keep the secret for now
Not only that, she WILL use what he told her against him eventually. She will tell someone else someday. Better believe it.

Its better you dont tell her and if she hears form somewhere else, deny it cos she has never seen you portray any element of insanity before...Cos if u tell her and she continue with you, be adviced that women are women.They dont change, she will still use it against you in future...If you laugh too much she will say you have started, if you frown she will say you have started, if you are silent, she will say you have started.

True that!!!

Women will always use such things against you when you have issues.

The only option you have if you truly love is let her know everything about your past, present and future if you have an idea what love is all about.since you have been together for quite a while and she didn't sense or seeing any symptoms of your health condition believe me if she is meant for you with a good counselor she will definitely stay but I also suggest you look for good hand to handle the case on your behalf. If you need my exploit I can be of help...am Evangelist Joseph.

Lastly, please you are 100% fine, sounds and healthy to our great Nation and the world at large.be bless

Mental health issues shouldn't make anyone pause thier lives. A lot of people out there have issues like acute depression, bipolar, eating disorder, PTSD, anxiety disorder, ADHD, OCD, etc. and they're married with kids. Some of these mental health issues are curable while others are manageable. OP just needs to let his loved ones (including the lady) know cause it would be very unfair if he doesn't.

No mental issue is curable, you can only manage it..

Since you have realised your mistake and currently able to manage it with your medication. If you love the girl and really want to marry her and enjoy the marriage, please inform her and let her know that you have been able to manage it. She will probably help you to manage it better. If she loves you, she will stay with you and keep your secrets becauseit is a test of the love. However, if you do not tell her, after marriage she finds out, she will not forgive you and it is a valid reason to ask for divorce or leave you because the marriage was invalid. It was based on deceit, fraud. The church take it that there was never a marriage.
So better free yourself now and tell her. If she says she is leaving you after telling her, just ask her for one favour, and tell her to keep that as a secret for you and bid her goodbye.

Good evening everyone. To cut the long story short my mental health issues started in 2012 when I tried weed in the university. It's not genetic. I've also been in and out of psychiatric hospitals a good number of times. However I'm currently on medication and I've been able to manage the condition. I was also able to graduate and I've also done my nysc and my family is planning on opening a small business for me since job has not been forthcoming.

However my health condition has been kept secret by me and family and I'm currently dating a nice girl. Please should I tell her my secret. What caused most of my episodes was refusal to take my medication and all that but right now I'm very okay and for some few years now I've been going about my daily affairs without any issue. If I let the cat out of the bag I don't think she may stay cos the stigma of mental health issues is not a joke. Please I need your advice on how to handle this delicate issue. Thanks

Be kind to her and find a perfect timing to tell her about it before she hears it outside , there's no need to hide it if she will stay, she will and if not you will find someone else..

That's why it's good to make some personal findings about anyone you are having a relationship with. The innocent lady will be thinking she's with a sane person lipsrsealed

Say no to hard drugs and try to maintain your medications. Madness is a serious issue. The good girl deserves to know that some nuts dey lose from time to time make you no break plank on her head one day cheesy
which kin talk be this , so u de call him mad man ,when he said he is now ok, mind your words oo

So if you suffered Malaria in 2012, you will tell your girlfriend in 2021, that you suffered Malaria 9 years ago ??

So many stupid advices on this forum.

Are you sure you have mental health issues?? I think a person who do doesn't ask the public for answers. Or are you asking for someone?

My concern now is not your mental health issue cos I know you will be find by God's grace, neither how your girlfriend wll handle the news if let out.

But you know what my concern is, those young men and women who will after reading this story still go about to start smoking weed.

Shebi just yesterday a Chinese zoo forced a baby monkey to start smoking cigarettes just to create awareness to humans that cigarette smoking iwas dangerous to health.

That's how one young girl in my area will start shouting sometimes going naked after smoking weeds.

I think it shouldn't be now because if you tell her now, she'll later come to nairaland or somewhere else for advice. Let her sensitivity triggers you to tell her the truth.
Let's switch role, the lady has mental health issue and hides it from him, what would you call her when he finds out himself? Many of the 'advise me' threads I see are created by guys, he might even come here to open a thread to tell us how he found out his 'gf' has got mental issues /hid it from him.

OP, tell your gf and do it in person when you both are alone. The earlier the better as it'll save you some stress and relieve you of the burden you have keeping it from her. If she decides to stay, fine, if she decides to leave then so be it. She has the right to stay or leave and for you, do whatever you can to get better.
