It was hard for me in the beginning. I was under 100 pounds in high school and out there but i didnt talk much. Turns out a lot of guys were into me im just finding out.
I didnt date for 8 years while i was sick and getting well.
Now im engaged to my current boyfriend. We went to high school together. Never thought id be dating someone from high school. Luckily hes a very good looking guy, just my type, and accepts pretty much everything about me including my mental illness.
I got very lucky. Im sorry you hate when people say they wouldnt date those with mental illness, but i just cant anymore. I have good reason tho. I cannot hold up myself plus another person in a relationship. Its too much for me to do. If i cant take care of myself theres no way i could help someone else. In my last relationship i held him up and put myself on the back burner. Its very hard and regret it. I saw that in my last relationship. I even see it now when i got depressed. I could barely do anything. Fiance doesnt deal with mental illness.
