7 Game-Changing Tips for Girls With Depression (2 of 4)

Take the pressure off of always needing the timing to be right

When dating, there is never a perfect time for things to fall into place. You could meet the person who is totally right for you when you least suspect it. Conversely, you could be ready and actively searching for your person and come up empty-handed. Depression can make you feel like you are not ready to meet the right person or even blind you to a good match that is already right in front of you. Try to keep your eyes and heart open. 

Keep your mind focused on your date

If you are on a date with a potential match, try your best to keep your mind and focus on them, not yourself. Being depressed can sometimes make a person super focused on their suffering and problems. It is hard to ignore it if you are feeling down and overwhelmed by your feelings. But if you are on a date, this could come off as self-absorbed or even as if you are not very interested.
