I have major depression and PTSD, and this is the first time since my "nervous breakdown" that I've gone back to the dating scene. I've met a lot of guys online and they're pushing me to meet them. And it's not that I don't want to meet some of them, the problem is, I don't want to do so during the week. I work full time and have serious sleep pattern issues, and I don't want to do anything to screw up my sleep schedule and my ability to get to work on time. So I only want to do stuff on the weekends.
When I do finally meet with one of these guys, I have no idea how they'll take seeing the scars all over my arms.
How do other people deal with the effects of their disorders while trying to date?
