A guy I work with and I have partnered up to open a restaurant/catering business this year. weve been discussing it for months. he's experienced in owning restaurants and bars and I think it will be a good experience. however being around each other so much he can tell when something us off especially since I'm not on medication. it gets annoying to always be asked what's wrong or who's been bothering me. should I tell him I have bipolar disorder to gain understanding at these times or would it just ruin the whole relationship

I vote no. Especially in a business relationship

I'm with jacky. I wouldn't disclose. It would just open up a whole new can of worms that I don't think you want to deal with. I would only tell if it really becomes an issue and you can't get your work done. If you are able to function at a fairly high level, I would just leave the issue alone. Good luck and congrats!

get lvl see a doctor get back on something that works for u

the guy cares he is asking what is wrong and who is bugging u (wants to help fix it ) ....if he did not do that i vote with the others ..........but u should tell him so he is not freaking out something is wrong in other areas on your off days

with u under a doctor on the pills or something they deem ok ......u can tell the guy i have some issuse the doctor pills are off we are working on getting it fixed .......it is the truth but not to much info u can say lady troubles (guys shut up look down when u say that built in reaction unless gay or doctors in family)

if u feel a bad day coming on tell him i am doing the work but i might be off little do not worry doctor later in the week .....then quickly change subject

he he flat out asks u what is going on .......never lie tell the truth once u lie it gets bigger and more complex stressful and in the end trust is broken

but u done all this work all this planning and money gathering so he knows u are a good person and u have the skills to do this ........just now and then u are grumpy/sad

plus once he knows he can be a check and balance system for u to keep the over reactions to the times that warrants it ........just have the doctor and pills right he will say if see a side effect and need to look for something else .....the guy cares why i wrote this less stress on u in the end

Most importantly - I first need to say if this is noticeable to others - please consider the option of going back on meds.

Secondly, to answer your question. If this relationship is strictly professional - from personal experience - I'd 100% vote NO to telling him too.
Thanks for this!
