I have GAD, panic disorder, agitated depression and traits of BPD. I am in therapy going through loads of trauma, especially abandonment. I decided to try dating after more that a year and it's like going through all the circles of hell... liking someone, expecting them to ghost, them losing interest and me falling into despair. It has never been pleasant for me, but this is something else. I know, I have been given advice by some people not to date right now. But I am lonely and crave intimacy, so I do have a need that is not being met.
I'm sure I am not alone in this and would very much like some support right now 💔
