Too many issues to date

heretic

I feel like there are too many things wrong with me and my life, I can't think about dating. It's a really lonely existence but how do you date when the rest of your life in in shreds? I have health issues and financial issues and can't see letting someone else into my life when it's so messed up, so the bottom line is I am going to be lonely for a long time.
I'm really glad for DS, it helps

I can relate to you quite well in this sense. I feel the exact same way about myself because of my health issues and how I have to live. At times I can't help but think, "How can I ever come to share my life with someone else while I'm this way?". I know how lonely of an existence it can be and I'm sorry you have to go through this. DS definitely helps though. Being able to relate makes me feel a little less alone.

I am turning 35 next month and still struggle with self esteem issues. I really want to start dating again but I just need to get over that hump.

I"m just curious, heretic, but did anything I msg'd you about help you at all, especially how I cope with my own obsessions?

cme135, I struggled with my own self esteem issues and they stemmed from being born so late and having siblings so old. In essence, I felt like I didn't belong and it took me yearsssss to realize this. maybe there's something bothering you like that that you can't unravel or dissect. if it is, don't feel alone. have you made any progress in trying to figure out what that something is?

I think obsessions are the least of my problems really. I've lost my income and will be evicted soon. And I have several mental illnesses. It is these things that make it hard to date. I don't think there is something wrong with me that I need to dissect. I think I know exactly what is wrong with me - many things in fact. But thanks for trying to help.
