Hi,
I'm up late just thinking about who would love me with all of my mental issues. I have GAD, severe depression, imposter syndrome, and DV survivor. Sometimes I go through, thoughts of things going wrong and I panic and worry or feel down and it's out of no where. I feel as though if I were to tell them what I struggle with they would leave me. A lot of people don't stick around when you struggling mentally. I think I will never find real love. 😔

Many of us have these relationship issues. So many don't understand what we live with.
I know it seems cliche but it's really true that the one person we need to love the most is ourselves. I've learned that being more comfortable with myself I show much more confidence to the world.
Therapy helped me so much. Are you in therapy?

Yes, I am in therapy but I still don't have the confidence. I try to love myself but it's a lot of things I don't like about myself.
I get it. I was the same way. It took a lot of work and convincing for me to reach this point... I'm talking years.
Don't give up.
Im so sorry you are feeling so bad. It is hard for people to understand what our normal is if they don’t live it. I’ve been married for over 40 years and he doesn’t get it. But he does love me in spite of it all. If they truly care about you it won’t matter what your mental status is. If they can’t deal with it, it’s best to find out early on. In my opinion anyway.
Thank you. This gives me hope that I will find someone to love me.
You are certainly going to find love for you in this forum. That special kind of love in relationship with another person is definitely tricky to find. Loving yourself as Dolphin suggested, is a good starting point. Hugs 🫂 from Australia
