There is a girl I like. I don't see how she could ever like me back, because I would never like someone who looked like me... I am not a happy person. I have clinical depression and I am recovering from an eating disorder and self injury. I am not a good person to become close to, because I can't promise to be alive for any extended period of time.

I've been trying to just forget about it. My last relationship was just so bad. But she... The girl is bisexual. She is pretty flirty... So deep in my mind, maybe that is why I can't just get over it?

But I have my sexual side effects from medications. Basically, if I ever got in a relationship with anyone, if I don't ditch my anti depressants... I don't know how in to it I could ever be.

On the off chance that she does like me and comes on to me or whatever... I don't know. I mean... If anyone ever likes me... Ever, and I like her back, what do I do? How could I ever comit to someone when I know she can do so much better?

I just... Is it cruel to waste someones time with the likes of me? What would you do?

Also, don't put yourself down. If she likes you, there's a reason behind it.  

-------
If I had a dollar bill for every time I've been wrong
I'd be a self-made millionaire and you'd still be gone

Also, just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you NEED to be sexual. Or, at least, that often. If you plan to be on anti-depressants for awhile, could you switch to another anti-depressant that doesn't have those side effects?

And if she likes you? Just go with what feels right. We can always say, "Oh, my partner could do better than me!" But if she likes you for you, she won't want to do 'better than' you.

I don't think it would be a waste of time if you wanted to be with her, and I don't think you'd be wasting her time. As long as your honest with her about everything, then you should pursue it when you're ready and stable.

Free yourself
From yourself.
Give in now.

There are such things as relationships without sex. And will you be depressed for the rest of your life? You're still young.

I could not have said it better.

-------
Do you masturbate angrily?
Furiously.

True, but sometimes kissing doesn't do much for me, either.  It totally depends, but I figure if getting into kissing is hard...

The only option I know has pretty much no side affects is Wellbutrin... Which gives seizures to anyone who has ever had an eating disorder.  I don't know what else I can take that would mix with my insomnia meds.  I may be stuck on lexapro forever.  The only other option is prozac, which won't change much.
