Dating Other People While You Are Depressed – It’s a Trap !!
Here’s a quick little dating tip for you guys for the New Year: Don’t date while you are mentally depressed.
I’m not talking about a clinical depression, but rather depression in the sense when you are down in a funk and all signs point to a nice little Pity Party going on inside your head. Dating other people requires you to give all of yourself to that person. When you are depressed you are only thinking about yourself. As such you are not able to give 100% of your efforts to getting to know the person you are dating.
You will most likely wind up making matters far worse as the relationship will most likely end and you will be in the same exact spot that you were when you started. Concentrate first on taking care of yourself and fixing whatever it is that needs to be fixed in your mind.
If you absolutely have to date someone your best bet is to take things extremely slow. Let the other person know that you are not mentally ready for a relationship and you need your space and time. If you are lucky enough to pull out of the funk depression while you are still dating them, then you can start to look beyond the casual dating aspect.
