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.
