I kind of wish there was a mental illness dating app because I don't want to ruin anything with someone who isn't prepared for my disorders.
Obviously there are just too many issues with this; we are a vulnerable group and bad actors would prey on an app like that. I just wish to meet someone who already knows I am damaged and is okay with it. Meeting someone cold, I feel like I have to be normal and I don't want to mislead anyone. I want to just like take a walk with someone and sit down and not talk about anything important, or at all, just hold hands and maybe an arm around me or my arm around her, each of us silently just knowing that that's all we really need to not feel so alone. Whatever comes after that, I have no idea, maybe a conversation would spontaneously appear without any desperation clouding it.
But that is too much to ask, or I don't know who or how to ask.
