Trying to fix my shit so I can at some point put myself out there and try dating again. So far all of my attempts have been miserable failures. Doesn't help I lost close to a decade to depression so I feel behind everyone my age (no degree, no career, dead-end job, no romantic experiences, etc).

It also doesn't help that I can't help but think that I would be inflicting myself on someone and making my problems theirs. I'm trying to reform myself into someone I'd want to be with but digging myself out of years of mental illness and grief has been a struggle.
