Patient discussion about acquaintance rape.

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..

Q. How many women actually give birth on their EDD (expected delivery date)? I am pregnant and my EDD is January 22nd. I was wondering what are the chances I will give birth on that day exactly?

A. If it's your first pregnancy, you probably will give birth after your EDD, as first pregnancies tend to be longer. Your EDD is after a full 40 weeks of pregnancy. It is most common to give birth between 38- 42 weeks of pregnancy.

Q. I have been dating a great woman for about a month now. She has a history of breast cancer. I am confused.. Here is a critical situation of mine. I have been dating a great woman for about a month now. She has a history of breast cancer which I came to know only on our last date; she also informed me that she has a new lump! What can I do now as I am greatly confused whether to accept her with the disease or break my relationship with her to protect myself.

A. Hey, will you sacrifice the meaning of loving a great woman just because of her history of breast cancer?
Yeah, the decision is in your hand, but I just think maybe it can mean a truly pure love if you can accept someone you love just the way she is.
