Hey Brittany,

Read your post…

The problems you are having is due to the fact that you do not choose the right guys. You are most likely going for normal guys who only interested in using you because they would never get into a serious relationship with a mental chick.

I have been seriously dating for over 5 years (mostly online) and I can tell you that women like you never give guys like me a time of day, even though I am much much better than any of those guys.

What I am trying to say is that try giving me a chance. A guy like me who is also mentally ill and wants to find love (not sex). I am suffering from depression and I have been hospitalized in the past many times. But now I am stable on meds and I have my life together. I have an apartment, a car and money to support a family. All I am missing is that special someone to share it with. The biggest obstacle for me right now is that I am alone. I really need a good woman in my life who would understand me and be there for me when the times are rough. I would do the same in return.

Mental illness is NOT something that you can fight alone. You need a trusted and understanding partner on your side to help you with that.

If you want to give a guy like me a chance – let me know. I promise you that you will not be disappointed or freaked out like your were before. Mentally ill people must stick together to survive so please give me a chance.

I come from a good family and I have many good friends.

I also like cats (I have one) and ice cream. These two things are great for mentally ill people. Try it sometime.

Let me know.
