I just met a new person and I have already told her about my condition. For some reason I feel like my condition could be a deal breaker for other people.

I struggle with nightmares. I'm not a medical professional, I'm a patient. I've started on a prescription that is already helping. 

I tried to reconnect with a prior romantic partner and it triggered my Bitch self. This was due to her ableism in regards to mental health. 

I've been out long enough to have physical needs. I'm (Bitch) bisexual. The others aren't going to like this.
