Bipolar Disorder and Internet Dating: Match.com, E-Harmony and Craigslist!

Internet dating was one of the most stressful experiences of my life! In fact, it can be stressful for people without bipolar disorder! I stopped using the internet to date over a year ago. What a relief! I have to admit I did meet a lot of guy friends that way, but the other people I met… whew! A lot of trouble!

Maybe internet dating works for you- but if you find it making you obsessed and unhappy, there are many other ways to meet people that are less stressful.

I have friends who met on Match.com, etc- but they are pretty calm and could handle the constant email and constant judgment from strangers! Not me! I used to put up profiles when I got manic. Now I use my mania more wisely. ha ha.
