Dating with depression

I have always had an issue dating people but it has gotten worse. I just can't seem to find the energy to care about other people. Its difficult for me to express my emotions and I compartmentalize so forming a connection with someone even friends has always been difficult. I am putting my self out there more but I also have anxiety so I hate going out in large social situations or meeting strangers. All in all, dating has been impossible but at the same time I feel really lonely most days. Life seems to be a double edged sword.

Sorry you are going through this. I understand how hard it can be sociable with others when you are dealing with this. Have you reach out to your doctor about your anxiety and depression? Be bless

Thanks. I have but not about dating in particular. I guess I could.

Becoming a member of Toastmasters has helped me a lot to get rid of social anxiety, fear and has given me a new life.
