Would you date somebody with mental health issues? or is it too much baggage to take on?

Anonymous
Im currently suffering from PTSD, depression and alcoholism which stems back to my time in afghan and the army.

Im getting better and have managed to get my drinking down to twice a week but sometimes there are weeks where i loose all self control, drink every night and the only time i get out of bed is to go to the shops to get more drink. I then snap myself out of it and get back in the gym etc.

The thing is, when im like that i only have myself to bring me out of my rut. However lonliness and boredom are another factor when im like this so If I had a girlfriend i would have a reason to pull myself together. I dont think I would have these episodes as often, nor would they last as long.

I've been thinking about getting back into the dating scene, but my confidence is rock bottom, and my self esteem is pretty much 0 right now.

Obviously i wouldn't open up about all this on the first date, but girls would you date somebody like me?
