Anytime I meet someone with whom

I might form a romantic relationship, I stop because I know that this would never work out . Almost all of them are not familiar with mental health issues and hardly get me . They were sympathetic and very caring but our worlds never matched . I understand them but I don't relate to them
This made me think that some day I would find a person who would be as depressed as me and we will complete each other. Now as I look at SW and see men women struggling with depression and anxiety, I realise that I relate to them but I don't understand them . Yes they have same problems like mine but I don't understand myself too .
Truth is its very hard to form meaningful relationship unless you are healed . I was thinking that the walls were around them making me unable to see them , understand them or relate to them but
The walls are around me .

Relationships are growing experiences. You become involved with people to find out what you like and dislike. What can you put up with or overlook. You have dismissed all relationships at the starting line. I have anxiety and depression. If you and I were in a relationship some hiker would find out bodies in the forest. We would walk off a cliff hand in hand. Look for someone that understands. So many.people don't. Someone who can put up with someone on the emotional rollercoaster.
