I would only consider telling a b/f or g/f after the relationship has past the 6 months test & trial period... make sure they are here to stay for a while before you let them in.

VERY wise advice from Rhapsody. I made the mistake of telling my last relationship before the first six months and am now sorry I did. I broke it off with him for reasons not related to my disorder, but next time I will heed this excellent advice.

I used to be very open sharing my information at work. Fortunately all the jobs where I did this were in mental health settings working with counselors, so they understood; BUT if I was tearful or a little cranky that had nothing to do with my disorder (more hormonal - you know about that ladies ), someone would immediately say "Did you take your meds today?"

I am now in "corporate America land" and have not disclosed to anyone, not even my two best girlfriends that I've known for two years. Unfortunately I didn't know at the time I went out on disability that I didn't even have to tell my boss. Since I didn't know about that, he and my co-supervisor know and I sure wished they didn't.
