Do you feel like your illness/condition will keep you from finding love?

[Far Side Of the Moon]

Sometimes I do, I feel like I won't find live or happiness due to my anxiety. Sometimes I'm very hopeful but when I have bad days with anxiety I just think, all just be in their way and the last thing is want to do is hold someone's life up.

I just..I'm sometimes I feel like marriage is the mental stable, emotionally stable and financial stable.

I know I'm not 100% right on this,,,but there is some truth to this.

Yeah, you're right. If I don't find anyone that'll be okay bc I don't want to be a burden.

Re: Do you feel like your illness/condition will keep you from finding love?

No, because I am relying on God to provide. I've been waiting a long time, but now I have a perspective on how I used to be that shows God has been doing me more than a mere favor keeping me single, he has been saving me from long-term pain and deep darkness that would have destroyed me and any relationship.

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. (Psalms 127:1, 1984 NIV)

Actually, no--even though many people have told me that girls aren't going to want me.

It wasn't until I had a breakdown and got suicidal that I got with my husband.

He was just one of the guys in my church and he came and visited me when I was hospitalised for self harm and PTSD.

I was 26 and had never had a boyfriend I was to shy to even look at a boy let alone think I could get one.

I must admit I think I opened up to him and gave him a chance cause I was on a lot of Valium and serequel.. usually I would push people away but yeah

So 3 years after we got married. I'm still a complete mess. I am on disability and he is my full time carer. Which painfully sadly I need at this time
I can't even go to church alone I always need a watcher it sucks. But I thank God he loves me and others are there to make sure I am safe .

Just no matter what please don't give up
Maybe you can meet someone who struggles also.

I do feel this way ): I wish I didn't...

Some people act like I have to reveal my entire medical records before going on a date.

Having a health condition by default is going to effect any relationship you have or any potential relationship. Theres no denying that it will, but to what extent it does definitely depends on each individual situation. If you aren't mentally stable a relationship is going to be nearly impossible. It's going to be hard to contribute to a relationship in any meaningful way if you are sick. And yeah it definitely doesn't seem like it is fair to your partner for having to deal with it as well. But assuming you are able to become independent and take care of yourself one day these things shouldn't prevent a relationship from happening eventually.

I feel this way too. Sometimes it seems like only happy people who have themselves "together" find love. I am not together. I am broken. But god is working

The only real negative relationship factor that I've bumped into are people who don't think they themselves would be wanted by anyone. There's no way to win that game.

In other words we have to love ourselves before someone else can love us. I know I am not quite in a place where I am ready for a relationship. I am still in the healing process from years of abuse. But ill get there. God is good

Oh, well please by all means elaborate

I'm not up for taking that bait. You go ahead and love yourself more.

When I see someone who thinks he or she should love themselves more, then that is what I get--someone who loves themselves more.
