If there is a specific danger you can also request your healthcare provider to limit disclosed information as well.

In the meantime, try getting enough sleep, eat your fruits and veggies, exercise. If need be just take relationships out of the equation right now if they are too stressful for you.

Yeah, I'm aware of those laws. It's not that I feel like she'll purposely tell them, I just feel like she might accidentally let it slip. Even next year when circumstances will allow me to seek answers, I still won't want my family to know.
It's not the relationship itself is stressful. It's just the fact that it's hard to hold any type of relationship, dating or not. I've crossed unspoken boundaries and lost friends without really realizing it until later. And I've lost people who I've inadvertently hurt while depressed.
