ParRoll Call 97

I told him about my mental illness. He wasnt judgemental. He just asked me if i could take my meds but i cant take the main one right now. Only my anti anxiety one

Does it help to know that he knows now?

I told him like 2-3 days ago. But i dont think he fully understands idk. He said he ex dealt with bipolar but thats not like my illness.

APs are rarely 100%. Cbt helps with the rest....

Break him in slowly....does he understand you hear voices?

No he doesnt. Should i tell him? I told him like 15 min ago that i had paranoia at the moment. Ugh. Hes not gonna like me if i tell him i hear voices. But i did tell him my dx.

For me I always tell people within the first three dates or so unless I don't get a a sense it will be a serious relationship.....if you're just having fun no need to tell but if you plan on being together a while wait until you have a good rapport on date 2-3 and mention that sometimes you hear voices....but have a fun example if you can, nothing too dark.....mention that the medicine helps etc.....

Better to find out early if they will be afraid of you, but not too early they have to see and feel you are stable first.....

Of course to be fair others will say not to but for me it reduces my anxiety a lot.....

Did you take DBT classes.

If he stops liking you it wasn't meant to be.
I wouldn't tell him I hear voices over text. I'd wait until we were face to face. I would also probably wait a bit maybe the 3rd date or something.

Only a bit of paranoia today. Mostly calm because I was drinking in the morning, and then I was super busy didn't really have too much time to be paranoid and crazy. Relaxing this evening and honestly drinking again... I need to relax. Long day and mind is too busy.

Too late. I told him everything. I told him 2-3 days ago my diagnosis but i just spilled mostly everything. He said he doesnt pass judgement on me because he knows people with mental illness and i seem mellow and chill. He says its not new to him.

Every time I get up my dog steals my heating pad and wraps up with it lol.

He sounds like a good guy.

I know doesnt he??? I dont want him to slip through my fingers but im scared to date someone new. Im seeing where it goes yes. But i would like to date him. So bad. He has a car and i cant tell you HOW many people especially guys i know that dont have a car around here and theres no public transport except for taxis and ubers around here. Theres no buses or metro rails. Plus he has his own money!!! Has a car and is self sufficient!!! That was enough to win me over a good amount of my heart. Hes sweet and nice and gets worried about me too.

I told him i felt anxiety and paranoia and he was worried about me.

He would be a nice addition to my life. Plus he said he would visit me here when i feel ready. Said its not far for him because his ex lived over an hour away. And im only 30 min away from him!!!

Oh and hes already showed a picture of me to his mom. Lol. Apparently she approves.

I feel much better now after taking my gabapentin and talking to him

Glad to hear that. Sometimes it just takes someone to listen.

That's great. Things are definitely stacking up in his favor.

He really does sound great and like he's into you....so happy for you

No. But I distract myself anyway. With music, etc. Not a whole lot is here though.

Awwwwie thank you! I like him a lot.

This is him

I have to say too that getting right back on the horse is the way to go....I was with the current bf 1 week after being broken up with and sure you make comparisons but if it's an upgrade like in your case and mine....it's easier to find comfort with someone new than to be at home crying.....

He looks better than that other one. I hope it will keep going well. You deserve some happiness already.
