Question

[Abbi1960]

I have just started a new relationship when I must admit I am not at my best. Anyway my question is when do I tell him Any help would be grateful

There is not specific time other than when you are ready and feel comfortable enough to tell him.

I agree with Flukeyk there is never a specific time for telling someone, but you should tell him eventually (as lilaclil says possibly a bit at a time) because if you have a bad episode he could think it is his fault, which could reflect on your relationship.

My advice is just to tell him a bit and not the whole thing at once otherwise you risk driving him away. When you get the chance just drop in that you suffer from depression but don't go into too much detail.

Thank you all for your replies. Lilaclil I have a habit of driving men away But I don't want to in this case. So a little it is

[Hidden in reply to Abbi1960]

Don't make too much of it either. Just do it in a casual throw away manner at first and see how he responds. Good luck.

Well I have bitten the bullet and have told my new partner that I suffer from clinical depression. He didn't say a lot or ask too many questions. I think he thinks that it came on as a result of a bad marriage. I did tell him I was born with it but he didn't say anything. But we are still talking which is a good thing. Thank you all for your support

What is it with my luck or lack of it. I have just found out the man of my dreams is a con artist. It's just what I don't need right now. But I must stay strong
