The coffee idea is a good one. I don't normally condone lying, but sometimes you need to in some situations unfortunately. I defintely would NOT tell anyone, let alone a date about taking anti depressants or any kind of psychiatric medication unless they NEED to know about your condition.

Trust me on this, even though most people are a little more aware, and even a little more tolerant of people with certain issues, most people still DO judge people like us as being "crazy" and "unstable". Even former best friends that I've had for several years started treating me differently and started to avoid seeing me as often after I told them about the medication that I took. My parents and my sister judged me even more harshly and they began treating me worse than before. I even got locked up in this sham of a hospital once. Thankfully I got out after a few days, and that place got sued and shut down.

It didn't matter to them that the meds made me a lot more functional and a lot less depressed and anxious, to them, all they probably heard were the sound of coo coo bells in their head. The media still portrays people with mental health issues in a negative light.

Only tell people that you can trust 100% not to judge you for your condition. There are very few people like that out there. In the meantime, don't say anything to a stranger that you just met. The odds are not in your favor. Just keep the conversation lighthearted. And compliments are always appreciated by everyone.
