In all honesty, probably not. My illness and the behavior that stemmed from it has been extremely destructive to my relationships and family.
For most of my life, I kept my illness as secret as I could. It eventually comes out, though and not in a good way - and it isn't right to hide it.
The opposite approach - being honest about my condition - would not seem to improve my chances in the relationship department. Women do not line up seeking to date men with a history of bipolar disorder (can't say that I don't understand). Fortunately, I'm not looking - I have someone already. That hasn't changed things much, it's all the other things - the personal work and growth - that has seemed to have the greatest impact.
Ain't nobody going to fix it but you. I have a feeling that wasn't the answer you were hoping for. I wish that were not the case.
