Would you date or be interested in someone with an anxiety disorder or depression?

Question

I am getting divorced. I also have an anxiety disorder and sometimes feel depressed. My condition is treated with medication and I don't think anyone could tell. But I worry that anyone would want me because I have these conditions. Would anyone love me again if they knew I had these things

Answer 1

For your first question, I personally would date a guy with depression or anxiety if I liked him, because it doesn't really matter what disorders they have long as you love them, and plus for me it would be great to have someone who could relate to how I feel. As for you, it may be kinda hard to find a guy cause some guys are really shallow, but I don't doubt you will find someone. Tons of people with depression and anxiety disorders have found true love, and I bet you will to, as long as you don't act to self councious of your disorders and as long as you don't bring to much emotional baggage to the relationship to fast. In time you will be able to find someone who loves you for who you are, disorders or not. One good thing about having either of those disorders is that it will scare away the scum who only care about a one night stand or whatever. Kinda like a filter, only those who really care and want to be with you will get through. Atleast, that's how i see it

Answer 2

I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.

Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.

Depression Free Method?

Answer 3

What you need to do is do some research, I am studying a nutritionist course and basically all you need to do is change your diet. The meds are worse then the actual depression... Do you know one of the side effects are psychotic behavior... treat you body right feed it good food and it will in turn treat you right... You are a lovable person and have to believe that, don't depend on the medication to keep you happy that is what the AMA wants the more money they get from you that way. Rebel eat organic raw food at least two meals a day you will notice a difference and will be able to drop the medication and move on to a happy new desirable you!

Answer 4

I have suffered from anxiety and depression for most of my life.If you dont let it control your life and you learn to love yourself,then no...it wont turn guys away.You are insecure and scared that ppl will be able to tell or that ppl will judge you when they find out.Those are not the kinds of ppl that you need in your life.Everyone gets depressed and a little panicky at times,we just all handle it differently.You handle yours with meds because that is what works for you and you dont need to be ashamed or judge yourself for doing what works.Let ppl get to know YOU,not your issues:) I found a great guy that loves me no matter how crazy i feel sometimes and you will find the same,just stop being insecure sweetie.

Answer 5

most people have some sort of anxiety disorder and depression to some degree in this competitive highly mutating world order

i too fall in the same category controlled by medications

and why, there have been many great people like Lincon, Churchill, Dostoyevsky, and many innumerable ones who've contributed alot to the society - aren't they lovable?
and you don't need to be a great person, just love a kid, or an animal, or enjoy the serenity of the nature - u'll be filled with grattitude and love toward everyone.
everything is in your own efforts!

Of course. My girlfriend has an anxiety disorder, and everyone has their issues. As long as you can handle a relationship, there's someone who will be interested in you; make sure that you can handle the relationship though.

Beyond dating, I bet you're already loved.

Answer 7

They will if they are the right person for you. It is important for you to be honest with them though. You wouldnt want to get stuck falling for someone you is not strong enough to handle a few imperfections. Funny thing, everyone has flaws, but some people cant handle other peoples flaws.
Love yourself first and someone else will find you loveable too.

Men aren’t “supposed” to seek out advice on how to get women or ask their friends how do I get a girl. We don’t sit around analyzing each other’s relationships. Still, picking up beautiful women is a skill that anyone can learn with enough time, practice, and access to the right resources. Read here https://tr.im/NSeqE
There is a ton of stuff ( to help you get started. Sometimes the techniques go against “conventional wisdom” or what seems to work in movies and romance novels. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try them – they DO work and they are a huge advantage over the competition.

Answer 9

I would suggest getting yourself together before getting into a relationship. It is all about what's best for you and not dumping your baggage onto someone else. Take care of yourself and be your best before getting involved with another person. It sounds like you might need to work through some things then you'll be emotionally available for someone else. Good luck.

Answer 10

If you are a good person with good morals, depression shouldnt be a problem. I cared for someone that had depression and come to find out he had no morals?! So, someone will love you as long as you dont lay your problems on him and use it as an excuse everytime something goes wrong. I wish you luck.
