Meeting other single people my age with mental health issues in Brisbane

Meeting other single people my age with mental health issues in Brisbane

Hi everyone.

I'm just wondering how people deal with trying to start dating, when you have metal health issues.

I find it is really hard to explain to other people who don't suffer with the type of problems you have, that you have mental health issues.

Does anyone know of any ways to be able to meet with other singles with similar problems?

I have tried to start a singles mental health meetup page, but I don't know what to do on my own.

If anyone has any ideas that would be great

Hi Willstar,

Thank you for your post and Welcome to the forums!

You pose some very intersting questions ie how do others "explain to other people who don't suffer with the type of problems you have, that you have mental health issues" and how do others meet people?

which I dont want to limit but I do need to put it out there that we do have to be mindful on this forum that it is an anonymous site so no identifiable information can be shared ie the use of a specific mental health dating site but general responses are fine ie internet dating or cafes etc. these guidelines can be found here

I hope you understand and keep posting!

Take Care

Hi @Willstar

Welcome to the Forums 🙂

The topic of relationships come up a lot here in the Forums. @Ilovewater started the discussion Romantic Relationships and Mental Illness back in Nov last year looking for a relationship and updated us not long after that she had met someone (maybe they will pop back in and give us an update and advice! )

Anyone else have any tips?
