I guess my depression was too severe to really date seriously - I isolated myself too much - I did date, but it failed miserably and I found it too much of an effort - but maybe that's just because he wasn't very supportive. I was suicidal, so maybe I was just too far gone... I don't know. But, I think you should date if you can. A good relationship could help I'm sure - so if you can avoid isolating, go for it!! it may be a better antidepressant than meds ( :
