I had wanted to re-enter the dating scene before becoming even more ill. But now I rather just platonic friendship; being ill and unable to really push and maintain a job at the moment. Losing sexual desire and reduction in hypersexuality after being Bipolar.

Just generally being a bit depressed and at the same time trying to work for myself. I must admit on the dating market it makes me very vulnerable.

Its not just dating but friendship or family. I am very lonely at times but my support system is smal, When you cant really offer much to people, they either want easy sex or dont want you around at all.

So I actually rather aquaintances and the friendzone. Its a grief to bare not feeling young and useful. But I am really glad for communities like this one.

I do lots of online courses to keep my brain active and work on trying to build an online career. I try very hard to keep the depression at bay.

But I do think no dating can be beneficial at least. I dont want to date when I am unable to have something of my own as well. Never want a man to say I am just good for sex or housework , especially when ill.

But yeah accepting it can still be hard
