Join the club! aren't we all? your girlfriend probarbly has mental illness too without you knowing.

Dude397:
For those asking for the diagnosis, according to my doctors, It's bipolar affective disorder caused by substance abuse. I get hyperactive during episodes and over religious but I'm not violent. For some years now I haven't had any episodes and the medication I take keeps reducing as time goes by and hopefully I'll be weaned of real soon and I show no signs at all except I tell anyone you wouldn't know at all cos I'm productive in my daily affairs. I'm 29 years.

Tell her the truth before you guys starts talking serious relationship. She needs to know what she is getting herself into and you both need to know if she can handle it. She will be the closest to you and needs to understand and identify your triggers/signs.

I pray this becomes history in your life. You have to open up to her. It's the delivery method that should be handled well and you seem quite eloquent enough.

And yes, expect the worst and hope for the best. Brace yourself if she chooses to walk away. Respect her choice and move on. This is something you want to disclose before you commit yourself and start catching feelings. God will never desert you, man. All the best.

Psychotic drugs are worse than Heroine, Cocaine, and the rest. Please stop the medication. You would have been better without the drug. You don,t have any bipolar. Kanye West didn't take any shit. He did alternate medication.The Psychiatrist made you believe that Weed was responsible. Psychiatrists are liers and criminal. Weed is way better than that medication you are taking. Please stop taking the medication.

You better tell her now, or you end up divorcing each other after marriage

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

O great! Thank God.

Now, in this order you've explained and been able to convince me, ( as regards the weaning stages) about your improvement so far after the gradual withdrawal from the medication, that everything is now under control, can you explain it to her exactly this way, instead of presenting it straight up to her as a mental case? At least this way it will sound milder and easier to accept.

Let her know you're in the final stage of weaning and assure her there won't be any relapses again.

God will perfect your healing in Jesus name.

Amen. Thanks for the advice.

Only the truth, will set you free..

It is not subjective.
