I am a 38 year old male and got divorced 3 years ago and now back in the dating scene and have been struggling with this. I wasn't diagnosed until after I was married so this is new to me. For context in a 4 year period I was hospitalized 3 times for psychosis and diagnosed with bipolar 1 and schizoaffective disorder. The last time was 3 and a half years ago and then was when my doctor finally found the medicine combination for me. I've been just fine ever since.

 I'm not coming out with this detail on the first date but I don't think it's right to let someone commit to regular dates without knowing. I've met some wonderful people and we really did like each other and then I tell them and it's gone. I also usually meet through apps so for now I just have a statement about my compassion for mental health and that I'm looking for the same in someone.
