In guess you are lucky in one respect that you have a family and a husband. I am divorced and I have the following disorders:
Bi Polar
PTSD
Osteoarthritis in my hip and back
Substance Abuse
Obsession about things
Brain Injury recovery I had a pituitary tumor removed
I just wanted you to know what I deal with every day I am 100% disabled from a brain tumor surgery in 2003 and I will never work again. I don't have many friends close, My roommate and best friend Melissa and I are very close but we have never been sexually involved or dated we have never even kissed maybe one day. The nice thing is we have a kind of thing where one of us knows when the other one is in need or hurting it never fails yet that If I have this feeling I will call her. other than that My medications have kept me for the most part from getting out If i do go out I cant take my pain medications and i have to return in about two hours. I have my care at The VA Hospital. I am in the MISA program for Veterans that have Mental Health/Substance abuse problems and I have a case manager that I work with she gives me assignments to do in order to reach the goals I want to obtain Like dating I looked up the singles church groups and emailed them in regard to the programs they offered so that was part of my homework. I am trying so hard and sometimes the depression wants to win it is very difficult even with Melissa's love and support sometimes I wish she saw me in different way but I know she just considers me a best friend and I am the one that has to accept that I need to get out and date and see what my reaction would be with a different lady and what her reaction is, she is very protective of me in regard to women and who I have contact with because of my brain Injury she knows I can be mislead very easy so I should be grateful for what she is I'm my life and I am I just want to grow and have my own relationship's is not dating right now but she still talks to her old boyfriend every day and all she has to do is tell him to come over And when she was dating him there was a problem he wouldn't go home he would stay for a week at a time.
