Wait 3 months to tell them. Do not tell them up front.

chances are that they have been on meds themselves or they know friends that are on them.

when my dx changed to bipolar ten years ago i ran a singles ad in the chronicle, austin's weekly music rag. i emailed back and forth with 2 different ladies. I had never read anything about "when to tell" if you are bipolar. both seemed like nice people and maybe even like friends. so, i told one that i didn't want to waste your time and I want to be fair in case it might be an issue. I was diagnosed with bipolar a few months ago. told both kind of the same thing and got pretty much the same answer.
I have a friend with bipolar and they f*ck*ng drive me NUTS!!!
Most people don't freak out that much with depression but if you're bipolar almost every single person will have a problem with it.
