Let me start out by saying I’ve been diagnosed for anxiety, depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia. I’ve openly told some people about my anxiety and depression, but I can’t for the life of me tell anyone about bipolar and schizophrenia; I feel like they’ll think I’m crazy and try to avoid me at all costs.
Now, onto the relationship scenario. I’m male, so typically I think about women a lot, or the lack of one in my life. I’m 27 and I’ve been on only one date and never had a single girlfriend. I’ve only asked a total of 4 women out my entire life, 3 downright rejected me, 1 gave me a chance but basically had no interest in me after the date. My mental illnesses make me an overall boring person, I feel like. I have little to no interests, terrible social skills, bad self-esteem. I just feel like an absolute train wreck most of the time. I’m on 7 different medications right now, which I feel is a lot and upon revealing this to someone I would think they’d make me out to be crazy or very unstable.
Is there any hope getting into a relationship one day when I’ve been diagnosed for so many different mental illnesses, or would most people reject me immediately if I shared this with them?
