Would you date a mentally ill person?

PriestTheyCalledHim said:
Yes I have and I probably will again. They were depressed, had anxiety/panic issues, avoidant personality disorder, and I had crushes on women who were either bipolar, had depression issues, and some who had drug addiction/substance abuse issues.

Sometimes I forget that technically my anxiety would be some sort of disorder. I'm relatively normal still and can definitely have a good relationship! So I guess I definitely would not worry about a minor problem. It's when it becomes major and really interferes with every day life I guess, that's when it become a problem.

The chronically depressed ones really get on my nerves. I feel sorry for people to a point, but I would get extremely annoyed to wake up to some guy telling me life is horrible every day. That would get old really fast.

I can't stand people who are insanely depressed either. At least the ones that complain about it a lot.
My bf is kinda depressed but it isn't major. He's not complaining all the time. He doesn't need me to feed him compliments to make him feel good about himself. It works.
 
Ive been with my boyfriend for almost three years. Ive been depressed since puberty and have had horrible anxiety my whole life. My problems werent debilitating the first two years we were together but they slowly got so bad i didnt even get out of bed unless i was using meth...which makes everything worse in the end. Ive put him through a lot and hes put me through a lot, but we love each other. It gets straining on the relationship for sure but if you truly love the person you'd be surprised what you deal with. It eventually got so bad that i decided to check myself into an outpatient program for depression and decided to stay with some family for a month - just got out today actually :) - and I think its saved our relationship but were still together because we love each other and we wanna work through it. He himself has depression and anxiety problems so its easier to understand if you have the same issues, but hes much better at keeping his in check then i was.

so in answer to your question, yes I would date someone with an issue - clearly since hes a recovering heroin addict - but in the end you have to really love the person to be able to put up with everything they put you through. once you have that, then your golden :) true you need to love yourself but having someone waiting for you doesnt hurt :)
 
you don't always find out that someone is mentally ill until it's far too late. Whether it be diagnosed/treated or not.

Crazy people: they probably won't cut off your breasts. :P

She's must be deep sleeper if she wouldn't actually wake up while her boobs were being cut off.

Yo dawg, I was also able to put a QUOTE in my QUOTE so I wouldn't have to QUOTE your QUOTE!
 
Yes, and I probably already have. All jokes about my current mental makeup aside.

:)
 
Aren't 99% American girls considered delusionally paronoid because they all think that either someone is "stalking" them or that some psycho killer is going to kill them?

Bonus: I've got a source to back up my claim, and you need sources to back up your claims.

I have ADHD, anxiety and am recovering BPD and while I'm eternally greatful my current partner with paranoid anxie accepts me for who I am, I will never ever go into a relationship with anyone with Aspergers or on the autism spectrum... Especially not when they also suffer from psychosis..

Some things just shouldn't go together
 
My husband has anxiety and depression.

I have watched him go through numerous medication rounds and psychotic breaks (never violent) over the past 7 years.
It feels awful not being able to help the one you love the most when they are trying everything they can to help themselves.
Almost everyone I know takes some sort of pill. I stick to weed and what I learned during an intensive 6 month course of therapy a few years ago.
 
after dating a scum dweller who also liked to ingest a lot of meth to perpetuate his drug-induced paranoid schizophrenia, I just don't think I could go down that road again. ever.

even depression - as empathetic as I am on the matter - is also off the list. I'm very receptive to moods in general, and I need all the positivity in my life that I can gather.

not to mention - I'm not viable to date anyone else, being betrothed and all :p - my future husband is prone to bouts of being moody and broody and that is quite enough for me to handle.

it would take a strong person to be able to date someone with an active mental illness - as long as it was medicinally controlled, though, I doubt it would affect their capacity to have a loving relationship with any such afflicted person.
 
Depends how bad it is, there's having problems and there's just being nutty if the latter leave well the fuck alone... :\
There's also a thing with taking advantage off someone who's mentally weak though not all are 'weak' some are and if one wanted you could easily take advantage of that which is a no no.

More idealism on BL's SLR. You only think 99% of people are insane, because they don't agree with your views. There is nothing wrong with being "normal." The irony in it all is that most people want to have a happy, "normal" life and they revel in being "different" because they can't get to that point. Speaking of facades, of course.

Theres different degree of crazy, someone who is slightly depress is nothing compare to someone who is completely delusional.
I was reading this book that stated that 99% of people have some kind of brain disorder..

I would personally would not date someone who is mentally ill like bipolar or Schizophrenic or very depressed. I knew a girl who was bipolar, she was a very cool girl, but a lot of the things she did was like wtf. For example she would make up stories about herself, she would tell everyone shes rich, or that she works at this job which she didn't.., For example she told everyone she works at this place as a manager, but after 6 months we found out she made it up,that she never worked there, she would lie a lot. She would have unprotected sex with random strangers who she meet online, while she had a BF. She would have mood swings. For a certain amount of time, she would be very happy, lots of energy, life of the party lots of drugs and sex, the next moment, she would be very depress and not leave her house for weeks.. She would invite people over to stay with her, sometimes weeks at a time. Then she would accuse them of stealing.

That's the reason why I would not date someone with a mental illness.
luckily she was hot, so some guys would put up with her craziness, but i can't. In fact it would make me depress and feel sorry for someone who has issues.

This is true, but where as there could be many different severity levels of something like depression, I'm just not convinced that anyone can be a little bit borderline. I've never met someone who was just a little bit borderline...

That's extremely typical of biploar people, to the T, was she getting help at all?
 
if you want balance and peace in your life then NO !

i have in the past, made me a tougher, meaner and heartless person by the time it was all said and done

you want to be happy or miserable? you choose !
 
I agree with most that it depends on the severity. I think we are all a little quirky and could easily cross the the line into mental illness, especially if drugs are involved. I have had depression for many years and a psychotic episode after withdrawing from benzo's. Fortunatly my husband is very supportive and loves me come hell or high water. I once had a one night stand with a guy who had tourette syndrome. (B4 I was married) Not one of my proudest moments, but interesting none the less....;) I would not wish that disorder on anyone.
