I have decided that am going to try dating again. I have taken about a 6 month break from it because I found it was triggering my bp AND most importantly I was attracting people that weren't healthy for me.

I was just wondering if anyone else experiences issues with dating? I had started dating too soon after my diagnosis and instead of listening to myself I listened to a p-doc in a group therapy session I belonged to. I know he meant well, but it wasn't the right time for me.

I don't want to live the rest of my life without a partner, nor do I want my diagnosis to dictate "living a small life" for fears I'll be triggered into major depression or hypomania.
