My post was sort of that I've accepted that about my disorder and myself - that it changes and that it's ALWAYS there treated or untreated. I don't think I can wait for perfection, nor do I believe I should. So then the question is how do I introduce someone else into my world? I'm not saying I would date when at the point of hospitalization or extreme mania, etc, but I think I'd be lying to myself if I said I would only date when I know yesterday, today, and tomorrow will be stable.

It is just my way of looking at a situation, by being positive. It helps with my recovery. My main concern is when things don't work out and you are broken hearted? Don't worry about my concern. If you can handle it, good. If not, will that be too hard to handle? I would make sure I have a shoulder to cry on if it happens if I think I can't handle it.
I believe that I can recover to live my life. I believe my life can become meaningful to me. That's just my belief only. Don't it it bother you by what I believe in.
