I haven't had a serious relationship for sometime, but I recently started seeing a guy. As it turns out he works as a social worker in a psych unit, go figure. Now I've only seen him 4 times but plan to see him again. I wouldn't tell him I'm Bipolar for sometime, I don't want to scare him off, but at what point is the timing right?
I'm 34 single with no children. Knowing Bipolar is genetic I ask myself often if I want to have children. My mom is Bipolar as well and I wouldn't wish this on my child. It's not a choice I have to make now, but surely one that will be pondered in the near future. I don't know if I can go through a 3rd generation of this illness, it takes a toll on you. But I also don't want to be an elderly woman regretting I never had a family.
Can anyone relate?
