| *Women health>>>Depression |
I had to stop working a year ago and now take medication for mental illness (bi-polar) and for depression...? |
and i draw disability.......now men lose interest as soon as i tell them about this and it really hurts...i want to be honest from the start.....i'm a great person! i don't know what to do......i'm tired of just going out with the girls...... You will find the right guy someday. I'm bipolar and i met some of my closest women friends at bipolar support group meetings. You have to be cautious, though. Lots of us don't use very good judgement sometimes. You are not getting the proper treatment. Find a better Clinical Psychiatrist. You must be able to live normally if you get the right treatment. Perhaps you might want to lay off off confessing the heavy stuff when you meet people.Most people don't understand what this is like, nor do they want to, especially if if they are bombarded with it in the first five minutes of meeting you. I can understand why you would like to be upfront, but there is plenty of time for candor as a friendship/relationship developes. This is what is referred to as "need-to-know" basis.You claim to be a great person, which I have no doubt is the truth (don't forget some very smart, artistic, and talented people suffered/suffer from some form of mental illness), so why not put that forward rather than something that might put people off? Another suggestion? When the time comes that it's deemed appropriate to confess, try using your sense of humor about it. It will put people at ease to know that you are ok with it. I wish to congratulate you for recognizing that something was wrong and doing something about it. So many people ignore the symptoms and further themselves into trouble. I wish you well and hope everything works out for you. Been there, done it I'm a guy and bi-polar and trust me it is worse the other way around.. girls are so cold. There is actually a rumor that bi-polar women are wild in bed. I know I wouldn't care....there are a lot of guys that wouldn't either there is no reason to blurt out your entire medical history on the first potential date. Let them see what a good person you are then later if it gets serious then tell them. I am bipolar and married for four years. those guys run out of pure ignorance! if bipolar disorder is treated properly then you will be leading a very normal and happy and productive life! if things get serious and a commitment is on the way then ease them into it. if he is a keeper he'll stick around no matter what!! good luck!! |
