I think I know myself and the problem for me is that I am not healthy enough for a relationship. I just get tricked into thinking I am on a better day.

Thanks SorryShaped

Yeah, this. I realize I'm not quite there yet. But I hope to be one day.

PTSD makes it difficult for me too, because there are times I'm triggered and don't know why and can't explain it. It means there's times I don't know what's going on. It confuses and disturbs women. They want to fix me but there's not a missing part to replace, just a whole where nothing can go. Add to it that I'm bipolar one, ADHD, and a victim of many many assaults

Yeah, sometimes I worry that I want to receive all the love and affection but don't want to give it in return. I have to remind myself that a relationship involves two people. I don't want to get myself into a position where I want my man to fix me.
