Yeah, I don’t know why I’m here again after I had my first and only account deleted I don’t know how long ago. For those of you who don’t know me, my old tag name was Mim130.
And, for those that do remember me, I’ll give you an update on what’s been happening with me lately. I mean even if my life would look great on paper that’s what anyone would say about it. But, to be honest I think I’m miserable.
If there’s one thing more than anything that’s been weighing on my mind in recent months, it’s that I’ve developed a crush on the current music therapist for when she’s at the activity centre usually every 2nd Tuesday morning. I even think she knows how I feel and I don’t know where this thought is coming from but, it’s like maybe she likes me back. My current case manager at mental health thinks I shouldn’t be so hard on myself about it. And yes, she told me she’s being moved to another department so maybe it’s good riddance that I’m getting a new case manager, because it seems like she’s “ out to lunch”.
I thought that making certain changes in my life would at least improve my mental health, even leaving this forum.
Yeah it can be tough. You mostly can’t help who your attracted to or who you love but erotomania really is a big thing in our worlds so it’s important you keep it all in perspective.
Like love is great if it’s reciprocated but if it isn’t then you just need to move on. It’s tough. It really is and I’ve struggled with it in my past and felt incredibly lonely at times.
So. My advice. It it’s not going to happen then you need to let it go and that is for the best. Keep yourself out there and do social things and you’ll find someone to develope a relationship. You have to keep out there and try but it’s still doable with sz and mental illness.
Yes @rogueone, I think it very well could be indicative of a deeper problem in that I’m not really happy or satisfied in my single life. And, I figure I’ll more than likely have to go for someone quite younger than me. It’s usually ideal to want someone close to your own age, but sometimes that’s just a number and I don’t think I stand a chance with them.
Well, @LilyoftheValley, I’m 46 and I realize that I’m not on their radar. Frankly, I’m guessing some of them are already grandmothers. I hope I’m not creeping anyone out. I don’t even look my age, so when I’m out in public, they don’t give me a second look.
I think there are plenty women the same age as you who look the same age you do.
I’m 47. I’m not yet a grandma even though I have 3 kids over 18.
I’m curious - what’s wrong with dating someone who is a grandma?
I don’t think it’s that you’re not on their radar. I think they’re not on yours.
Do you work or have an income of some sort? Do you have interests and hobbies you can share with someone else? Are you kind and loving? Work on these things if you want a partner of any age.
