Too sick to start a family?

...See more At 36 years old, all of my peers except those that choose to be child-free, have started their families. But what about me? Am I too unstable to raise kids? My last partner left because my mental health symptoms did not improve while we were together, and I haven't met anyone new who is both single and my age in years. I've tried. It feels like my symptoms have stalled my life out, but in reality, I'm still getting older and more lonely all the time. It feels like I'm not allowed to play life with the other adults, and I don't know what's wrong with me, and why I'm excluded. I didn't have trouble getting dates when I was younger, so I never really worried about feeling lonely. I always imagined that I'd have someone. But now my life is passing by, and I'm just living to get through the next day. There's no joy. There's nothing to build, grow, or look forward to. I'm just here with my symptoms that get worse by the year.
