I feel like I'm stuck between worlds, I want to date, but I have a few mental conditions which have always made relationships difficult. Social Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD are things I've lived with for almost a decade. I thought it might be interesting to hear if anyone here, who has a similar mental illness or condition, is interested in sharing their relationship stories. It might be interesting to hear what has worked and what hasn't for others. As for me, I've been telling myself I wouldn't date until I get a steady job and keep it for a while, and I'm currently looking for work, but another part of me is impatient. I know I want a relationship. I want to find someone who is motivated to get better, and someone who has at least some ambition, yet I psyche myself out of dating anyone who doesn't have serious personal struggles, because I feel I don't measure up, or relate enough with them. That's why I feel stuck between worlds. Stuck between the world of doctors and friends who half the time aren't really friends, and a world where people actually have fun with life. Anyway that's me, conflicted, frustrated, and wanting something different. By the way does anyone know any other good places online to meet locals, either for making friends or dating?
