datingwithdepression

Me and my stbxw have been separated for a year and a half and will be getting divorced. I've been dealing with my depression for about a year now and 4 months ago I started romantically dating someone else. Things with this new person were hot and heavy from the start since we both needed the connection. Even though the relationship progressed to serious quickly, I would still push her away then pull her back in. I did this like 3 or 4 times until she cut me off for good after the last time. It's like when I'm with her I just wanna do the time then end up in bed with her, then leave. But when I'm not with her all I wanna do is be in her presence. I've hurt this girl way too many times but I did it consciously. WTF is wrong with me??!! Should I not date at all even tho I'm so desperate for connection and sex? #lonely #datingwithdepression #Codependency

Someone I befriended in school told me they wanted to go on a date with me. They seem nice and I enjoy talking with them, but I don’t know how or if I should mention I deal with #Depression and #Anxiety on our date. I’m comfortable talking about it with my close friends, but should I tell the person on our first date? Or should I take it slow and let them know later on if the date goes well?

If you are single-do you ever meet someone and want to be honest right away and instead of acting like life is good and normal you want to say....I spend every single day trying desperately to want to live. Sometimes I just want to tell someone the truth #Depression #datingwithdepression #sadweekened

I’ve recently started dating again, but I never know when to approach the topic of my depression, anxiety and difficult past with mental health and self harm. Do I hide it until I find someone I’m serious with? Do I just announce it at the start? What do you guys find works best?

I’ve never been through depression myself so I can’t relate to what my boyfriend is going through. He does really well most of the time but then has really intense depressive episodes. I’m always there for him and always listen to him; it’s just hard feeling like I can’t make any real difference. Anyone else been through this and have any words of wisdom? Or anyone with depression able to share what’s been helpful for you in the past? #Depression #needadvice #help #Advice #Relationships #datingwithdepression

I really need tips for staying calm and being centered in myself while falling in love....
My problem right now is, that I just cannot stay focused and I don't own my thoughts and feelings and my time anymore. I am constantl waiting for him to text me & my brain is like a caroussel of thoughts and wishes and imagining our future-stuff. Normal, so far. Buuuut, I have a history with falling in love unhappily and becoming very dependend on their affirmation and attention. I have depression, I'm currently in a good phase but I fear falling in love will maybe sabotage my good health.

So this past year I felt like I got somewhat of a hold on my anxiety & depression. It was the longest that I have ever stuck with my self care routines & regiments. I had fewer crying spells & I moved to a different city, got a new job with zero emotional breakdowns. Even thought I’d give online dating a try.

But then I started to forget my daily dose of Zoloft; a missed dose (or several), here & there, but I didn’t think too much of it because HELLO I “got my shit together” right?

Hell naw!

I fucked up & matched with this guy who seems to be everything that I’ve asked the universe to give and now I’m triggered AF & scared shitless. Questioning everything that I say, having trouble accepting the fact that if this doesn’t work, will I ever get this close again? & expecting every interaction between us to be eurphoric & if it isn’t my mind automatically is assuming that something is wrong. I easily go into spiraling thoughts about what could happen, what he might be thinking if I don’t hear from him all day but then i feel this sudden release of pressure & mood shift when he texts me. & Keeping up with the routines that I’ve built us so challenging:/

My dating life can’t be like this. My nerves are shot & i don’t want to date on egg shells.I know that I need to start my mental health regime over again & create new routines that will help with my anxiety.

But I’m just so...damn...tired. I am not looking forward to micro-managing my mental health again. I hate my . I feel like I’m trapped, gazing at “normal” through a glass bubble & I just can’t get to it.

dating in 2019 so far is not looking good. peoples bios seem so shallow, despite what they say most of the dating sites are basically just hookups with dinner thrown in. people you think are interested will ghost you, after they say what a wonderful time they had, its hard to sustain enthusiasm when it feels like shopping rather than connecting to navigate this landscape of mean spirited one dimensional characters with moral flexible values/ethics would be hard for anyone but for someone with low self worth/esteem it feels impossible and tiring, and of course valentines is upon us...ugh! #datingwithdepression
