When is it that i should tell someone i am talking to romantically or wanting to be in a relationship with that i have schizophrenia?
There’s never a right time…
But i feel like he should know sort of early on because it effects my moods and i have mood swings often
Also im currently in a phase where I’m hearing voices and I’m being slow about going to change meds and I’m talking out loud to myself often lol
He is someone i was with when i was back in high school before i was diagnosed with sza
Honestly I think you should just kind of go for it cause if you’re up front about it I feel like that would be the best way to go about it.
Good luck with it 
You can simplify it not to scare him. Tell him your symptoms one at a time, each two weeks apart 
I asked this question once to a CPN and he suggested mentioning the illness when you get to the point of proposing marriage or some long term commitment. I think it’s good advice, I was intending to mention it on my first date with this girl, but doing that would probably have scared her away.
There’s no hard and fast rule of when to tell. It varies due to many factors.
First date? Second date? Tenth date? IDK, I couldn’t tell you.
It might depend on how ill you are or how much you trust the person, etc. It’s a judgement call on your part.
im always upfront and open about it so i know whether or not the person is going to bolt before i get attached
hahaha
thanks hun
yes, i don’t want to scare him away.
I want to wait until I know I can trust him. I was considering telling him right away, because I’m experiencing many symptoms now and need to get stable…I need the support and also my current “hallucinations” make me feel like he already knows.
He probably doesn’t know but if you’re acting off in anyway he might be wondering why that’s going on with no definite conclusion to why. If you really don’t want to scare him off, just tell him up front and try to own the moment. At least that’s what I would appreciate if I were the guy. Obviously I’m not and I don’t know who this guy is so it’s really all the advice I can give you.
Thanks. I appreciate this. I need the reassurance that he doesn’t already know unless i tell him. I need the reality check. sigh…
The first step is always admitting it. You’ll be alright 
Well, I was thinking about the upfront approach, but now that I’m really liking this guy I’m with and things are good and rekindling from high school days, I don’t want to tell him I have sza.
I’m part in denial that I have it now thanks to my father and my ex that always tell me not to take medication. That I’m fine. I also just don’t think this guy will take the news so well right now. I don’t think he’ll understand it. I’m embarrassed by it. I think it’ll scare him off, so I’m prolonging disclosing the information. I feel a little guilty not telling him about that part of my life.
