Hello you beautiful souls. I (22F) have been seeing a girl (21F) for around one month. She's really lovely and we have a lot in common. I've opened up to her about my social anxiety and she was very nonjudgemental about it- even telling me to alert her if my social battery dies while we're out. But it has not happened! Both of us are really big on respecting boundaries, too.

I was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 when I was 20. It had went undiagnosed for so long that I learned how to hide it, in a sense. It's definitely not as wild as it once was. Therapy and medication have been tremendously helpful. For the most part, I think it's well-managed. On my hard days, I go into hermit mode and take care of whatever needs to get taken care of.

I think me and this girl are casual? The lesbian dating "rules" are complex, but she's brought me around her friends, told a handful of people about me, her friends invited me to hang out with them, they kept encouraging us to take pictures together (one friend even told her to "keep" me), we stay up all night talking, we see each other at least once a week even though we're over an hour away, etc. I don't want to scare her with my diagnosis, so is it too soon to bring it up? At the same time, I don't want to blindside her. I'm curious as to what you think?
