what in the cluster b spectrum (I say as someone with bpd)

I am one of those who think it’s better to tell someone right away then later when they get attached.

Sounds like this technique was successful and weeded this relationship right on out.

ooc how early is early disclosure here. Were you still texting? Was this a blind date and you sat down and led with,“Hi I’m _____ and I’m bipolar.” Was there some contextual leadup and you were like oh btw. Are you recently diagnosed and still undergoing intensive treatment? Regardless it sounds like they’ve got some conflicting problems and it’s probably for the best.
