I don't think I should be marrying soon...

I can't even tell my family about my bipolar disorder 2, how could I tell someone I could potentially break up with?

No.

This is a big no.

Plus, I have so many issues that resurface whenever I'm neutral or worse depressed.

I went to therapy when I was hypomanic (before the diagnosis) to solve them, but the therapist after 05 sessions said you need no more, you're good to go with the conclusion that I should listen to my body more in order not to burnout. And she was satisfied about how I dealt with the other issues.

So, if my insecurities and issues are soothed and well dealt with and empathized with when I'm hypomaniac, and only resurface when I'm depressed or neutral... how am I supposed to live with someone and have kids with them? How will I raise them? How can I have me as a mother? 💔

God, I can't even think about it...
Actually, I'm overthinking about it. I pray things will be alright.

I'm sorry.
I know what it can be like with mental illness.
I have OCD and I had Relationship related intrusive thoughts. I've always wanted children, but was scared I would pass it down.

Don't like it take away from your happiness.

@Friendlyperson no longee much Relationship OCD, but single.
No longer worried about passing it down.
