I agree with this, but I can not tell you how many people completely turned me away or after learning more about me (and my depression) just stopped talking to me.

There is a huge stigma around depression. When it comes to dating in my city some people right out front ask if you are on medication and if the answer is yes they back away and scowl like you are some sort of monster.

I know these are not the kind of people I want in my life however it still takes a toll on me and making it seem like I am unwelcome due to my illness.
