Omg! I have a date on Friday....

We started talking yesterday and we are going into town on Friday just for coffee and lunch later. I'm mega excited. I've been hypo for weeks but this is definitely a good positive thing

Be very careful you could be setting yourself up for disappointment.
I would save your medical stuff, ie:that you are bipolar for a while.
being hypo can increase your desire for intimacy so wait. Enjoy your first date!!!!

I already told him I have bipolar thought it was only right he knew what he was getting himself into. He was perfectly fine with it all. Which is good. I'm just so excited!!!

My date went amazing. It was like he was/is the one. Awkward to begin with but once we started talking over coffee we were fine. I took him back to mines. We fooled about. He stayed for a few hours. It was the most amazing few hours of my life.

I have a date with another guy this time from England who is coming up in a few weeks for a brief holiday. He's meeting me for a fee hours. He's younger than me again but that's OK. I can't wait I'm buzzing.

I've been chatting to a 3rd guy, but he's about 2 hours away from me. But has family and is married so it's just through text and phone calls. I think I'm in love with him too lol.

I thought the first one was/is the one?!? Three timing beats my record. But that was pre-marriage. Do please be safe, especially with that married dude. Unless it's all sexual, at least one of those guys might not appreciate the others.

If it's only sexual, I suppose I understand why they definitely wouldn't care if you had bipolar disorder or not.

How do you define "love", Miss Laura?

@Miss Laura:

So happy for you! I'm looking for some romance and sexual healing too (i'm a het lady too, not hitting on you). It gives me hope that you've found some for yourself. How old are you, if i may ask? You're an adult and sound real happy with yourself so i'll spare you the lecture about the risks of promiscuity since you already know them and just share your joy. I'm 55 and i worry that romance is just O-V-E-R for me. There's one guy in my support group that i am attracted to and he's looking for a partner too. So that's a possibility. But he's also really sick and probably poor so i might pass on him and wait until i can get into my senior's center and meet a healthier man who can keep up with me financially. Also, i have to be careful in the support group, not to behave overtly like it's a dating site. I'll just observe the guy for now. He said something really intelligent and original and educative and COMFORTING the other day so i feel he would be a good teacher (love learning) and emotionally supportive and he's got lush curly black hair!!!

I'm 36, and haven't had anyone stable romantically in my life ever. I am late to dating in a sense. The bipolar gets in the way tbh!

@Miss Laura:

Thanks for sharing your age. Thirty-six is still young, you have lots of time to find a stable relationship. Enjoy yourself and have fun but if it's stability you truly want ****ing around is probably NOT going to get you there. Maybe do some introspection and try and detect what you truly want. If it's harmless fun, stay the course. If it's commitment, you might want to change gears. It's your choice and i support you in whatever you decide is best for you!

Wishing you love and light my friend!

The date went amazingly... but after last Friday he hasn't replied to my messages. So I have stopped texting him. The guy who is married hasn't spoken since Sunday and the guy from England hasn't spoken much and is being vague. I have cancelled the last guy meet up.

I've crashed and feeling quite low but trying to cheer myself up. I know I'm grieving but it's hard as I feel hyped up too. I've started self harming again. I don't know what to do.

Everyone has their own issues and things to deal with. So I haven't said anything to anyone as what's the point

Yes, everyone has our own issues - but yours are every bit as valid - and, like Christina says, helping others gets me out of my own head.

I'm very, very sorry to learn that you're self harming again. Are you trying any "tools" to assist yourself?

I'm just trying to not do it tbh... I've been watching more YouTube videos on everything and anything. My go to one's are hymns currently. Even though I'm not religious. I'm talking to myself more too again so I know things aren't great but hey ho!

I hate complaining, I'm still alive, I'm still well in a sense. Yes I'm grieving but I'm trying to be positive though I just want to cry

Thank you though it's good to know I can moan out right

Thank you for sharing.
