I'm sorry but I don't really blame her...

I think its important for people to get to know us first, make up their minds about us first, BEFORE we give them any kinda reason to change their minds.

That way they have more to work with when deciding if this dx is a deal breaker or not.

I thoroughly believe that the only reason nobody has ever rejected me based on this dx is that they got to know me without the label, and when the label did come up, each of them realized it didn't change a damn thing... I was still the same Lia I was before they knew my dx.

Ignorance runs rampant, so even though I'm not saying hand out fact sheets about bipolar, I am saying, that especially when dating, let them get to know as much about you, the type of person you are, before saying "buuut wait, there's more.."

I'm all for "honesty is the best policy",unless of course it can only hurt, then I'm not such a fan. But there's also that very real sentiment of "too much too soon."

I'm sorry she ran, but better luck next time, pace yourself before you have to brace yourself
