Had a good talk with the guy i have been dating for a few weeks today. He asked me why i don't drink, and i told him the answer is a long story and might freak him out, and he wanted to hear. So I told him about my mixed episode that landed me in hospital a couple years ago, and how that lead to me getting suspended at work and put on a mental health and sobriety monitoring program. It's a complicated story because i was forced to go to rehab after doing drugs for 3 days as a semi sui-attempt. I explained more about what lead up to that, and what a mixed state means. He said he wasn't freaked out, and he asked a few questions about it, which i answered honestly. After the conversation we went out to dinner, and it was good, and he asked me to see a band play with him on Saturday. So now I don't have this big secret. I have been worrying about when and how to tell him, and now it's done, and he still wants to hang out. This is a very good sign!
