I'd be willing to give that website in the Daily Mail article a try. I don't see two depressives/anxiety sufferers working out necessarily, but I think people with different sorts of problems would at least be sensitive and understanding to each other, which could be a great thing...(?)

[Macchiavelli]

thats a great idea, maybe they could set up a section on this site for people who are interested?

[notfeelingconfident]

Yeah I also think that would be a good idea if there was a dating section on this site, but then again we have the 'pen pals' section. I suppose people could mention something there.

The problem is, when it comes to dating on sites like this, is that I feel people are very suspicious and paranoid (partly because of the disorders/problems we have in the first place). If someone can hardly leave their own house to go shopping, how do they meet someone for a date? :)

[xJust_Sarahx]

I agree also. brill idea and good point!

[eight days a week]

Oh no, I don't think a 'dating' section on this site is a good idea at all!

Nomorepanic is based on friendly advice from people who understand, and nothing more as far as I can see. Introducing any sort of dating element would undermine this site completely I think.

As I already wrote, there are other sites for that (like the one listed in the Daily Mail article previously linked to). Let's keep this site platonic and simple, and doing what it does best, without any complications :)

Well i have agoraphobia...social phobia...ocd and possibility undiagnosed bipolar and my hubby has depression and undiagnosed borderline personality disorder so are illnesses fit quite well....i dont like being social and nor does he.....i dont like going out and nor does he.....he doesn't like being without me cos of the bpd and i cant go out without him cos of the agoraphobia but saying that we both support each other and encourage each other...like i have been going to meet ups with members of this forum (Hi pete :) ) which he has encouraged me to do even though he knows he will feel depressed without me being with him at home.....and i give him reassurance when i get home so that each time i go out without him in time hopefully it will be easier for him and i.... so being with someone who understands how you feel is very important :) i dont feel guilty for stopping him from going out and being social as he has no desire to do that anyway but if i was with a partner who did want to go out and meet people...go to the pub then i would feel like i was holding them back and i would imagine in time they would feel resentment towards me.......
Everyone is loony in this house including are 3 dogs so we all get on great :roflmao:
