I'm looking for a girlfriend. I have talked to this girl and dated her for like 9 months but I'm not so interested in her. Anyway, Will girls judge me if I'm bipolar?

Unfortunately the vast majority of people will judge us and it severly impacts their opinion of us. Sad but true

People will judge you for anything, you just have to find nice people who are not judgmental, and like you for who you are.

If they really like you they can work with you through episodes (requires commitment on both parts).

the good ones dont care about that. but, sadly, good ones are hard to find. somebody who has been through their strugles usually have more compassion and understanding

Anyone who would judge you for that is not someone you want to be in a relationship with, so it will be easy for you to weed people out.

That's true. The girl I am talking to doesn't care but I don't find that I like her that much. I'm not that attracted to her.

I never knew anyone who was turned off by the diagnosis, but I think people have a hard time understanding what behaviors are and aren't within your control, even if they know you have a mental illness. It's not something I would bring up on a first date. Once you find someone you like spending time with you can share. At some point you will be able to tell her and she will already know if she likes you or not and the diagnosis shouldn't really matter.

Just don't assume that the other person has a good understanding of what bipolar is.
Take the time to explain it to them because in my experience I have found that
many people are really confused about it.

Many people judge each other for many reasons. Just find someone you like and go from there.

Then it won't matter who is what. No one is perfect. Find someone you like.

That's what I'm worried about if I ever feel ready to start dating again (among many other things). My husband was soooo understanding and supportive, I can't imagine anyone else being like him and loving me despite my flaws.

But I agree with everyone else. Someone who would care wouldn't be someone you want to be with anyway.

If your not attracted to her then stop seeing her..

To be honest its a bit harder to find a partner/mate/friend when you deal with Bipolar , you yourself have to be on top of dealing with your Bipolar but finding someone that is willing to learn that you are far more than just a "Mental illness" well that can be more difficult. Difficult...... not impossible.

Why are you still dating this girl for nine months if you aren't interested?
I wouldn't drop the bipolar bomb until you feel comfortable with the person and can get an idea of a reaction. Then they are much more likely to listen and learn about the disorder. If you disclose right away people many freak out before getting the chance to know you.

My girlfriend found out about it on the first date. It didn't seem to effect anything, other then she had a heads up for episodes. I feel like if they get turned off, they are not relationship material. ****, I was hospitalized the first month we dated, but she was cool with it.

Eventually they will find out, either from finding your meds or you have a episode. They will then leave you (after you invested time and money on each other) or be hurt you didn't tell them sooner
