If it's the getting to know you stages, then the finer details of your life needn't be hashed out right away, I don't feel. It's like divulging your financial matters in some ways. Does that card come to the table immediately? You are not defined by your health. You are who you are.

Sit the guy down in a quite place, when you feel comfortable enough to discuss the matter, and openly begin the conversation.

If you are stable there is no reason to tell him. Maybe in time when you get to know him better or if it comes up in conversation and you think it's a good time to talk about it.

That's a good idea. I just don't know how he will react to it

I'd disclose somewhere in the relationship where you two aren't too deeply involved that if he doesn't want to be with someone who has emotional baggage, it won't be such a deep personal blow.

Quote:
I would recommend telling him when you feel that it's the right time ~ and briefly state that you are dealing with _____ (depression, anxiety, or whatever). You do (or don't) take meds and regularly see a therapist to help. That's it. Personally, I wouldn't go into deeper conditions (like personality disorders, abuse, etc) until I was farther down the road and I felt accepted by him. But, that's my opinion. I wish you the very best. Hugs to you! Shez

I would ease into it - give him time to see you’re more than your anxiety..... if he gets feelings for you he’ll probably try to work with you on this....if not that says where he’s at - good luck 👍
