I am far from being 'cured', but I was in a very, very deep and dark place where you are a few years ago. I don't like to bring this up because I don't want to 'use' it in any way, but after the death of my child, and then my common-law girlfriend, (how is that for baggage?..heh) I spent 5 or so years thinking I had *nothing* left..period. I wrote my death certificate out...made my will out, and layed in bed for almost two-three years.
So, yep I know what I am getting into when I say I have no problem dating somebody with mental illness. I am not trying to 'hit' on you...but if I did know you and was attracted, your 'issues' wouldn't matter. Maybe that is why I am a social worker. I can see a rainbow in plain grey. Not too many things in life scare me anymore. Many other people may be scared, but I feel that is a unique quality of mine. It's my 'little baby soul' inside of me I have kept alive, even when *I* didn't want to be alive.
Anyhow..please keep writting...I hope we can talk more. :-)
Peace,
Jay
