Unloveable

I feel like my depression has made me undateable and unloveable. I've never been a serious relationship and every time I try to put effort into something I just get left because I'm too emotional. No one wants to accept me and all the shit I've been thru and it makes me want to give up on finding love and die alone. I just started seeing someone but I feel like I say the wrong things and I tried to set boundaries but it's too much too soon and I look crazy. I don't want to be alone but I don't want to get hurt and left for having depression and taking things to heart all the time

If you want a relationship, you have to risk getting hurt. I have a lot bad experices trying to meet people. I feel like giving up.
When I was in college, I was planning to be a councelor. I was to help people for free. Now I lost interest in people. We can be friends if you want to. I have major depression too.

You are definitely a loveable person,, and worthy of a satisfying relationship. Just take one day at a time, and if someone leaves you than it wasn’t the right person anyway. Go easy on yourself . You have plenty of time to find love.

Coming from a partner of a depressed boyfriend (2years together) love is possible out there. You’re no different than anyone else. You have feelings, you have a heart && you just gotta be willing to give it to someone fully. I’ll admit, it’s hard sometimes to stick by him on his down days. && I do feel alone from time to time. But I’m willing to look beyond and realize that he just can’t control it sometimes. It’s not him. It’s depression. I understand that. There ARE people, who are not dealing with depression personally, that are willing to put their extra time, patience, and love into someone dealing with the illness... it’s an illness. People don’t leave their partners when they are physically ill. If they do, you never wanted that person anyways. Just remember it’s NOT you. It’s that god damn depression. You’re worth being happy. You’ll find someone. I promise. Just gotta weed out them bad ones first. We do care

Sorry you are having a hard time with depression. Have you ever gone to a counselor? Sometimes it helps to talk to someone and share your thoughts. It is good to get involved with some kind of creative hobby where you can express yourself. While you are doing what you really like, you might meet someone who also shares the same interest. Hope you can find something that you really enjoy.

True love begins with loving oneself. It is essential. Trust me. Google "how to learn to love myself" and try it. You will find I am right.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
