Should I tell my boyfriend I'm under medications?

[Anonymous]

That's the only reason I don't drink. I need to be under my medications because it keeps me from having delusional episodes or hearing voices others can't. I've already been diagnosed with schezophrenia and moderate clinical depression.

We've been dating for nearly 6 months now (living separately) and realize he'll have to know about this at some point. I just don't know if that's something I need to share in a relationship. Would you want to know if you were my boyfriend?

I think it'd be a good idea to tell him. Alcohol can really mess with certain medications and you don't want to run any risks. Better to tell him before so he doesn't buy you an alcoholic drink only for you to say you can't have it because of your prescriptions.

I have schizophrenia too and my boyfriend knows. He knew before we even got together. I think you should definitely tell him and the sooner the better.

Diving into the deep end of trust and openness in a relationship is a bold move, but oh, so rewarding! You're navigating some real intimate territory here, and sharing this part of your life can strengthen the bonds between you two. Six months is a sweet spot where things start getting serious, and letting your beau in on this part of your life shows trust and vulnerability. If I were your boyfriend, I'd absolutely want to know. Not only does it explain the no-drink mystery (which, let's be honest, might have him scratching his head in curiosity), but it also gives him a chance to support you and understand you better. Love is about embracing each other, quirks, meds, and all. So, when you feel the moment is right, share your story. It's not just about the medications; it's about letting him into a more intimate part of your life. And who knows? This could be the moment that takes your relationship from "we're doing great" to "we're in this together." Light up that conversation with your truth, and let love do its thing!
