What do you think of dating someone with PTSD?

[Lutherthesaint]

Is it something that the person who has it should tell you? Will you get upset if you knew your partner hid it from you? How difficult can PTSD make the dating life in your opinion? Are they too damaged to date?

I would want my partner to trust me enough to tell me so I could support them. With so much stigma surrounding mental illness I'd understand why they'd try to hide it, but the fact they felt like they had to would make me upset. It wouldn't make them 'too damaged' any more than any other illness; I'd stand by my partner no matter what.

It's not their fault they have it. If people weren't so damn abusive,
then maybe they wouldn't develop it.

Wouldn't have a problem with it at all because I don't believe in PTSD. It's not a disorder, calling it that suggests it's not normal. I believe it's completely normal as humans to experience levels of stress, anxiety and depression after having to endure a traumatic experience.

You asked a question & I answered it, you never said in depth answers.
