The Right Time to Tell..

******Relationships in the beginning stages are all about getting to know each other. There are some things that people are dying to reveal about themselves. Mostly the good things right? Things that people will be impressed with. But what is the appropriate time to tell someone that you may have a seizure disorder, HIV positive, or that you are Bipolar? These are typically hard for the diagnosed person to deal with, but become even more difficult when they inform the person they are want to start a relationship with. There is probably fear of rejection, fear of being looked at as damaged.And what if the person who has the illness tells you right off the bat when you first meet? Is that too much information too soon? If someone who you liked came to you with one of the illnesses listed above, how would you handle it? Would you stay? And when is the right time to tell your potential partner that you may be dealing with some things in your life that aren't easy?****
