Patient discussion about Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Q. How can I confess to my girlfriend that I am bipolar? Not that it really matters, since I cannot attract a woman to save my life, but I was wondering if there is ever a good time to say, "Hey, I am bipolar" and anticipate the reaction. As a bipolar man who is looking for some love and sex, how should I handle the topic, if at all?

A. Amylove I am sorry to hear that people in all places a church were so insensitive to you. This is what I talk about when I say that I have learned so much about how to talk to other people. Mental illness is often an invisable minority and you never know... When you say something or do something to always be thoughtful and think to yourself if I say this is someone going to be triggered by it? It is thoughtless of people to laugh at situations such as mental health issues, however i think that people do it because they are anxous, uneducated and at times it has to do with a mob mentality... People in groups often do and say things out of charactor because it is what they feel they are expected to do.. With age, experience and maturity this fades for most. Try not to take it too personally....
You dont have to find someone with a mental illness to partner with you just have to look for someone open and patient and kind..
