How do I hide my bipolar disorder from my girlfriend?

Here's my answer... I understand why people say just be honest and tell her. However, I think there's more to it than that. How well do you know her? How long have you been seeing her? It isn't the sort of thing you'd want to lay on someone on the first date. I know because I suffer from long-term depression and people who do not have experience with this sort of stuff don't always understand and make assumptions about you if you tell them quickly when you're getting to know them. On the other hand, if you wait too long to tell her, she may feel you were hiding it from her and somehow being dishonest. So you might feel like it's d a mned if you do d a mned if you don't.

Usually when people get to know each other, there is an exchange of personal information that goes on... When she begins to open up to you and voluntarily share things about her family, life, fears, dreams, etc. it's a cue that she is getting comfortable with you and you can begin to do the same. But how to do this? Seems odd to just come out and say, "Hey, I have ..." so try this.... When you are having a convo and something comes up about HER feelings... like if she is saying she is depressed, etc. or talking about someone she knows and describing the same, you can say, "I really can understand that..." and then segue into talking about yourself. Instead of coming out and saying you have BP, just describe how you feel and what it does and that you take medicine, if you do... don't label it... If the convo goes deeper then just tell her it's BP... Good luck.

You don't deserve a girlfriend if you can't be honest with her.

Tell her now, or break up with her now. If she finds out later, she will dump you.
no.. just tell her in time.
take your pills,but honesty is better,talk to her about it

I doubt you can hide it.... nor should you. Even if you managed to mask it, your girlfriend would figure it out sooner or later. In fact, if she didn't know it was a genuine problem that caused your mood swings, she may leave after a few episodes. I think you should come right out and let her know what is going on. Who knows? she may be able to help you out in the long run. She has a right to know and i think she would be hurt to find out you hid this information from her. I know I would be.....
