I know what you mean, lavieenrose. I havent had a relationship myself for almost a decade, and im 27 now. Even though ive made some progress in improving myself and my situation, Im still strugglin with whats goin on in my life right now. And yeah, I know how it is to endure BS from the stigma, mentalism, and the negativity that comes from having a mental illness. The fact that my income is very limited, and a lack of a social life/status dont help either. But Im also workin on it. Its very time connsuming, and it requires patience. I have that virtue, its difficult but important skill 2 master. I wish you luck in your quest to finally find somebody for yourself. When you can muster up enough strength and courage to feel ready, then take that first step and work yourself up. You can do this! It might not be easy, but Its very possible!
