In short, that's a bad idea.
Yeah, Don't do that again.
Didn't you watch the Hunchback of Notre dame?
Get out of that damn tower, stop hiding and live your life, authentically.
I know it easier said than done, well not from personal experience, I never bothered to climb in the bipolar/bpd closet, so I didn't have any coming out issues.... But I'm telling you, hiding is really not the answer.
And if you doubt me, ask yourself "well how is it working for you?"

You're saying I shouldn't hide my mental illness? If so, I'm sorry, I disagree. Most people want love for themselves, and want a good partner. I don't want to reveal a possible deal-breaker until they come to love me and see the good side of me. I have so much bad that they need to see something good, a reason to hold on despite my bad side. Most people run away at first sight of mental illness, and those who don't I question their motives.
