I went on a first date with a guy yesterday and we hit it off really well. He seems stable, down to earth and very kind. I feel that I need to tell him about my bipolar because it won't be fair for me to let him fall for me and then just drop that bomb. I am afraid that he will reject me if I share. On the same note, I don't want to fall for him and then have him dump me because of the illness. I always thought that I should wait until the third date or so, but because we are texting between dates, we are getting to know each other and I think that accelerates the relationship a little.

What is your advice, do I write him an email and spill my guts? I am worried because I have to also disclose that my finances are horrible because of the illness and I am putting the pieces of life together, looking for steady work, but also possibly fighting off a depressive episode at the same time.

Do I put it all out there? And when?
