This is hard for me. One time I waited a while, until I felt comfortable, and the guy freaked out, bolted, and never spoke to me again. It was very upsetting because I was still the same person he liked before I told him..

The next time, I told the guy right away because I figured if he was going to abandon me, I might as well get it over with before I felt attached. He reacted really positively and kindly and wanted to do anything he could to help, but then.. about a month later he did some terrible things that he knew he could get away with and take advantage of me for just because of my mental illness, so now I don't really know who to trust or if there is any good time to tell someone.
