My psychiatrist keeps suggesting that I try dating. I keep telling him that personally I don't think I'm ready because I'm not working and I think that I need a backstory. Like oh I work at _____ and I'm a homebody so I don't have many friends. I believe this because there is no way that I would tell anyone about my diagnosis unless we were serious. I know that I have my real estate license so I could just say I do that but once you get to know me it's apparent that I'm not actively selling houses. I'm working towards a certification to help me get a decent job with good insurance. I'm not saying that I wouldn't be open to dating but I've never dated anyone. I got diagnosed at 19 and when I was in school I didn't attract anyone. Idk I just really hate he's pressuring my like this. I just want to tell him "I'm sorry that I don't have a freaking line of suitors waiting to date me but I must not be that intriguing so I don't need you to repeatedly remind me about my current forever alone status...I am already aware of this. Thanks a bunch." I'm thinking about not seeing him anymore and going to get my meds from my primary care physician.
