I know it seems basic but real talk, when do I clue someone into the fact that I am not the healthy college student? I was previously in a two year unhealthy relationship and the fact that I was not doing so well mentally really drove us apart, the more i needed his support, the more he pulled away or shamed me into feeling bad about being myself with language like "you used to..." saying that the way I was acting, my true self, was different and bad. But really I was just so tired of putting up a front and I thought that maybe, i could finally let loose around my boyfriend who I loved. I was so wrong.

I have my first crush since getting out of this relationship and I want to avoid that situation, I'm not sure if we will end up dating but i want to be honest with him and myself and i was wondering if anyone had any advice on when to bring up the big B (Bipolar) up in conversation.
