You say that you think you don't get many dates because of your condition, do you believe that's the only reason? If you're telling the truth about taking your medication on regular basis, I doubt that you are being rejected because of your condition. I've known many people who have mental conditions and have successful love and social lives. These are usually the people who have confidence and take responsibility for their own actions. They don't blame everyone or everything when they're feeling down. Your insecurities and hypersentivity about your condition is probably what is driving guys away, not your bipolar itself.

Dionysus, I think that was [overly] harsh. I didn't see two threads in the general forums about this and a search didn't bring up what I would call an identical one.
Regardless - and this is nothing more than my opinion - as the above was yours, I see ChitChat as a place where we can place whatever is on our minds that doesn't naturally fit in with most of the rest of the forums.
I hope long term GC member
sairose starts to feel better and if GC members can help bump that process along... so much the better.
But the above was your opinion, and I respect that.
