Is my depression preventing me from starting a new relationship?

Question - (6 October 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 October 2007)
A female Philippines age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I suffered from depression with psychosis when I had a relationship with a Sudanese guy. He forced me to have sex. I decided to break up with him.

Now I'm still single and already 28. I'm afraid to enter in a new relationship because I feel that my sickness was a hindrance in a relationship.

What should I do?

rcn agony auntSaying Don't feel that way, is probably words you've heard before. It's easier said than done.

Let me share what I have found. I have ADHD, Depression (which for a small period of time turned into major depressive disorder.), Narcolepsy (severe desire to sleep), and Cataplexy (falling down sezier disorder, having seziers when my body gets too tired.)

You'd think I would never be able to have a successful relationship with this crazy variety of issues. Not at all. The key is to study, learn your disorders, recognizing how they affect you, and setting your limitations. It's not that you shouldn't have one, it's just a matter of having an obstacle and doing some things differently to get to your desired result.

Take care.
