Hi folks. Navigating society like this isnt easy. My London excursion is a bust so I'm back to trying to date in my city as thats the one thing (having a partner) that would really cheer me up. I've dated enough that it's relatively easy for me to meet women and get dates but I'm hung up on the fact that at some point early on i will have to tell them im unemployed, not driving and have some sort of mental illness. I usually say I have PTSD to start with. If i had a large group of friends it would be easier meeting people and would know ahead of time theyre ok with my circumstances. Dating strangers is pretty rough going.

I've also got a confession in that I've been off meds for a few months now because i couldnt take the dystonia my AP was causing me and didnt want to go through the rigamarole of starting a new one. When my coaching job in London got cancelled it threw me into a bit of a spin though and Ive had to accept that I'll at least start taking my AD again and hope that on its own it doesnt cause dystonia. Its not all terribly bleak just not the best of times.
