Sounds like you want to reach a place in your life, before taking such a leap, as meeting in person. I can respect that

I agree, about putting a best foot forward, so to speak, sometimes, all that's necessary is to be open an honest, in the moment, and let your words and actions speak for themselves, instead of bringing a label to the foreground. I asked, simply, because, if mental health was something he was also interested in knowing more about, for his own interests, then it's much easier to discuss, mental health on a personal level. Not to 'hide', per se, from reality, just there's ways around labels and sometimes, labels can be misleading and not truly define who we are, as people.

For instance, instead of saying, I sometimes battle depression and anxiety(which those labels, can mean many different things to many different people), I can say, that sometimes, I get a little stressed about xyz(as far as discussing anxiety), or sometimes I get really melancholic around certain anniversary dates of my deceased mom.(when describing depression). It's honest, and doesn't shove a label, in other people's face.

The workforce, is a tough one, to get into, really hope you find something!

And it's good to know, that he finds big beautiful, and I hope you find the beauty in yourself, as well

Who knows, sometimes, the long term things, are worth the wait. Has he mentioned, desiring to come and see you?
