I wasn't clear on what was going on, and of course I would not advise that. I apologize for misreading. Sometimes I am on my phone and I get confused.

I was talking about disclosing to someone before you hang out with them, of course PTSD works different then bipolar, I assume.

I would disclose to someone in case I got triggered when we were out together, for example the sound and vibration of employees at cafes dragging chairs across floors to put them away totally triggers me and I would want my friend to know why I was jumpy.
