The point I was trying to make, considering this is primarily a dating site, is stating you are disabled as a method to gain a date is different from being disabled and being able to function despite that fact. In the latter case, the disability is is merely a state of fact.

From reading your comments in this discussion I clearly see your disability is a big part of your depression. You have allowed your self-esteem to take a hit. This is you placing your disability (and depression) more important than finding someone who accepts you as you are.
The act of being yourself is clouded by your need to focus on the disability and the resulting depression is fed by the disability.

Fixing your depression is more than just telling yourself stories to try to make yourself feel better. It needs to be an internally honest discipline to function despite your disability.
The self-honesty is crucial to finding your healthy self-esteem...not because of your disability but because inside you will know you are more than that disability.

Its better to display what you are than what you are not. If you point out your disability and focus on it to all you meet, they WILL focus on it. If you point out and focus on what you are really good at, they will focus on that. Then if the disability gets in the way, you can talk honestly about it.

If someone truly cares for you, they will care for you with or without the disability. You don't have to point it out, just don't lie about it if they ask.

I see where your coming from honestly a lot of people see it as me placing my condition higher I have other issues sure I point out the depression as I know it comes through in my responses

honestly yes it's hard to find someone to accept you we all know that in fact I won't even lie my entire bio is the frustration at the less talked about scammers on here or if you want me to be blatant and this is something no one will mention it's the amount of times someone has asked if I work and they've been politely informed I'm incapable of doing so only to block me

that's the part not many face that isn't discussed

I'll also add, perhaps fix yourself before you bring a woman in your negative world. I think you'll have more success when you can offer the best version of yourself

fix yourself is an easy thing to say hell we all have our demons right

I wouldn't. His "woe is me" attitude and his unemployment are recipes for disaster

and the two responses this one and a lower one that bother me with reason my attitude at most points is "woe is me" simply because I suffer from depression I'm actually a rather positive guy when on my medication I will however take notice and make some edits to my profile as per noted

You can be a 'disabled person' or you can be a 'person' who happens to be disabled.

honestly I wrote this at a rather down point and generally this is more of my attitude I did word it rather poorly wh I had hoped to start was a discussion regarding the topic

I'm just wondering what people think I'm a disabled guy and every woman just seems to think if a man can't work it's not worth talking to him

"your my forever person"
"I'll follow you anywhere"
"it's time you rest you've been through enough pain"
"I can't live without you"

yh and it'll mess you up when they leave
