Hi all, I'm Jim. I'm new here. I spotted this forum in a Google search and thought it was just the place I'd been looking for.
I'm in my 30s, and bipolar. I struggle to understand and handle my emotions, I'm not keen on being touched and I'm certainly no Brad Pitt. I have little to no sex drive, and little to no drive at all when I get into one of the lower phases of my condition. Socialising is a nightmare for me, and even those who think they're close to me have no idea how little they really know about me.
All of these things conspire to confine me to a life with loneliness. I'm used to it. So used to it, in fact, that the idea of allowing myself a romantic interlude of any kind is actually somewhat frightening to me now.
I feel safe in my little bubble, but also very alone. I don't know if anyone else will understand this.
For now, I'm not really sure what else to say. I'll have a browse around the boards and perhaps reply to some threads.
