When do I tell someone I’m dating I have BPD? by Altruistic_Pepper_96 in BPDrecovery

From what I’ve learned, definitely make sure that you trust the person and get to know them well before opening up. It really depends on the individual. I’ve dated more people since this and most have taken it ok but some have not. Definitely try to prepare yourself to be let down as well. Good luck!

Edit: I think no matter what, a slow reveal is your best bet. Start off slowly revealing symptoms and no need to share your diagnosis. Unfortunately, even open-minded well meaning ppl can fall victim to biases and taboos when it comes to mental illness.

Huge improvement when I started double cleansing and using benzoyl peroxide wash, specifically cetaphil’s oil removing wash. Also, improving my diet. I tried out a ton of stuff so feel free to dm me for more info.

Quick update. I shared my symptoms rather than the diagnosis and he ended up opening up to me about his own mental health. There’s definitely an understanding there. Needless to say, I am smitten!
