Anxiety Disorder and Dating

has anyone any experience with dating someone who had an anxiety disorder or do you have an anxiety disorder of some kind and were able to get dates?

I don't have a disorder but I'm always anxious about dates. All the worries about what u look like and what to say and what to do and all the other stuff kind of pile up. I just keep telling myself its gonna be ok and its better to try my best because at least I have a chance. If I don't then I'm quitting before I can even start.

I get shy for sure on that part and i just dont no how to get a conversation going so im like..... I finish universaty for a year now. My work is going strong. In social world im a mess. I just started to be interested on having a partner in life. I feel i wasted time even do its not. I feel like i srarted wanted to date a my old age.

I have an severe generalized anxiety disorder and OCD and i can say that dating is extremely difficult unless youre with somebody who understands how you feel :( I've had it my whole life and its become an important part of me so its hard to ignore it. but there are people who understand, and many who are willing to listen to whats upsetting you and make you feel better. ive done art projects about my anxiety and instead of making people feel awkward, they helped start a conversation and a lot of people were really curious about what it was like. all hope is not lost, for sure :)

i have generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar depersonalization and ocd. i'm a complete mess and finding someone that will accept that seems impossible. just breaking the ice with someone is a huge task for me, all sorts of scenarios go through my head, fear of failure, excitement of sucess, maybe she'll say this or that and i should responde with that or this. usually i overthink it and psyche myself out of even saying something.

i have post trama stress disorder and since i was 5 years old i had strong panic attacks i get them at random most of the time when im running when im around alot of people when im cooking my heart would just skips beats annd start pounding thud thud thud :/ it hate to get comfortable around people but i figure im way better than i was before i used to be a STRONG slient type i always kept my thoughts but i took other advice and started to be ore outgoinng and care free again :3 now i speak my mind i dont "baby talk" no more innfrount of people or turn into a hinata from naruto unless i like the guy but i do get bashful and if a guy stares at me for more than 30 second i blush and turn away i hate it when people stare at me it makes me very uncomfortable but i try hard and i let my voice out there i speak my minnd annd dont care what people think much and my life is more happier when you say things and speak up but yeah people theses days wouldnt see me as ice queen or the slient freak like in high school i was the girl who hated the front row and was always in the back lol

yeah it hard to be accepted.....<:( and very hard to find someone to LOVE you...for YOU...but...i just dont want to give up some days i feel like there no point it always end with the same results why bother with love or dates but then my heart fight me and tell me to keep trying and trying.....atleast im stronger now....im not as shy im more braves and my mental balls are bigger now!!!!! >:3 i over think wayyyyyyyyy too much and i trust people way too easy now....before i wouldnt trust anybody i wouldnt take any risks what so ever but then i got my balls back and decide to get over my past and with the right friends (janette,cantthinkofabettername,endlessknight,yuusaku) i was able to overcome alot....but pills help the depressing u just gotta force yourself to over coe yourself it pretty much takes alot outta you just to turn off your mind.if you know what i mean but just practice at keeping a blank mind and ride it out :3 just keep telling yourself you be okay.

I have Avoidant Personality Disorder, which is pretty much anxiety all throughout my day. It's difficult to meet people, much less date. I was, however, with a woman for two years whom understood the difficulties. When I told her I had AvPD, she immediately did her research so she could understand what to expect. That's a rare thing. All the same, it really is a major bitch to actually succeed at dating when you have a mental issue like this. One reason I am not dating anyone right now, whoever I'm with deserves more from me, y'know?

I do think it's harder for people to date when they have more debilitating issues, just because sometimes (depending on the other person) even if they love you, it's still a lot to handle and some people can't or aren't ready to deal with that. That's just one of those unfortunate things about life, love doesn't always mean it'll all work out. But similarly, that doesn't mean you should get discouraged, because just because one person can't handle, doesn't mean everyone can't.
