Hello, I'm Jim. I get my Primary and Mental Health Care from the Veteran's Administration/Hospital. I have Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar issues. This is far enough to drive me slowly off towards the deep end. I'm 57 and relationships seem nearly impossible to implement.

It's never easy getting potential partners to understand mental health issues, unless of course they've experienced it themselves, but you have to hang in there Jim, I believe that once your feeling better about yourself then you'll meet the right person, sometimes we have to be patient till the right ine comes along, having mental health issues makes a person unique, it makes a person understanding and caring about life and the struggle some people have with it, it makes a person have a deeper insight and acceptance of flaws in others, it can give you a quality that many others will never have, so you just wait for the right person to give all your qualities to n don't be hard in yourself, have patience n be kind to yourself :-) xxx

Can you try OurTime dating site for 50+ yrs? Maybe you can find an understanding woman there? Just be upfront (casually) about your issues but do not get too deep, that way they know what to expect. And who knows? Maybe even just putting your problems out there will draw out a woman (if that is what you want, IDK these days, and I'm sorry if I'm wrong so please forgive) with the same issues!

Maybe it is actually your issues that will bring her (or him lol) to you!

Wishing you the best Jim!
