I do know people who have physical disabilities, autism and other health problems they all seem happy and content in their relationships. All I think is lucky people. If I do manage to meet someone you can rest assured that I wouldn't tell them about my depression until I knew they were genuine and could handle my bad days. I am an expert at covering up my inner demons . I have a lot to offer to the right person . As soon as you mention the word 'depression ' people think that you don't work, don't socialise and are sat rocking in a corner. Nothing could be further from the truth. It would be good to have a partner again but ......its not the be all and end all. Much rather be on my own than in another abusive relationship.
