Depression For Dummies Like Me: Is It Possible To Date With Depression
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Lately I've come to terms with the fact that one of the factors contributing to my depression is somehow the fact that I'm single. Even tho I have pretty good friends, they simply can't fulfill my needs for romantic love, however weird or stupid it may sound. So I've been thinking about putting myself out there, I just don't know how to approach that. Since I got depressed I've only really got to know people from my friends' circle, I have no idea how to approach anything closely resembling… read more

Definitely online dating, find a good site that isn't all about hookups, take your time, someone worth meeting will wait until you are ready.

I agree theirs someone made just fr you. It's not weird or crazy. That's nice their happy but you'll be shocked how you will meet the one. When you're ready, I found one dating site that's legit well two Tinder.com and Match. com check them out but continue to socialize this will help your depression too and be patient

Try not let strangers know about your problem people take advantage of this. But yes it is possible to find love even when its only you with the problem.

I can certainly relate to that! I'd be really cautious about the online dating though; I've tried several like e-harmony and christianmingle and nothing ever came of those and they were really expensive. Definitely stay away from Facebook! It's a place for scammers who claim to be someone they're not; usually military people and all they really want is to pull you in with their lies and deceit and then get you to send them money. Fortunately, I didn't lose any money, but my heart got broken several times and I'm even more distrustful of people because of it. I'm beginning to wonder if there really is someone out there for me.

Just keep hanging in there.

I was in a similar position, compounded by my natural social awkwardness. Eventually, I gave online dating a chance and it worked for me.
