Would you date someone with mental health issues? (Page 2)

[EastCoastChick]

Yes depends on how severe and what there day to day is like. Me having mild depression and anxiety don’t think im really fit to deal with too much stress from another person..

[thatoneguyy1994]

I'm an Acute Schizo-Affect with Manic Depressive Type 2 Bi Polar, being in a relationship with a girl with Borderline Personality Disorder is a task but I love her enough to work through both of our issues and I think she feels the same, the reality is EVERYONE is crazy in their own way, if you want to find real love you have to accept that

[GayLoner]

Would you date someone with mental health issues, begins to list body dysmorphia anxiety and depression the top 3 most common 'mental health' issues lol

Not would you date a schizophrenic, would you date a transgender, would you date a sociopath, would you date etc.

[Darcia]

Yep. My ex is autistic there’s nothing wrong with folks who are diagnosed with psychological disorders. There are lots of stereotypical folks on here. Get off your high horse. Overcome the stigma

[maddog998]

Yes, this whole world has mental health issues. There is honestly no escaping from that one. Look at Robin Williams and most of the singers who all died because of mental illness

[Sankha20]

Been there, done that. It's so draining, but I'd do it again depending on the person.

She wanted to chat while I was in class or at work. She'd keep me awake at night because she wanted someone to talk to. Even though I needed to wake up early. I have depression/anxiety as well, so tried my best to deal with it and to understand her. After a year I couldn't take it anymore. On top of that, whenever I told her I loved her she would never say it back, she'd only look me dead in the eye.

Yes because just because they have a mental illness doesn’t make them any less human than people without
I suffer from bipolar depression and I’m still human
in my opinion it’s fucked up to separate the mentally ill from the rest of the world when we are all the same minus the fact the wiring in our brain is a bit screwed up

[Avicenna]

No, I have already done this. The problem is co-morbidity, I. e., them having so many things. My ex was BPD in addition to having anxiety, depression and ADD.

[ksmiller]

I struggle with anxiety and depression, so I personally would still date someone with mental health issues.

[MikeGaveO]

Yes. I wouldn't let something they struggle with be a obstacle in our relationship.

[ninjagirl_34]

Yes I would honestly. The person I used to date had anxiety depression etc. I also have those things and more so yeah I would date them

[victtory]

Yes, because she simply need someone to make her realize that her problem is temporary, and be overturned.
So I can

[Marie132]

Yeah, mental health doesn't define an individual after all, if I like their personality then I'd date them

[arabgoddess]

Someone who has issues like me.. Yes.. I'd most definitely understand what they're going through

[simianmbd]

Depends on the type of trauma and the coping mechanisms. But since I got dumped out of a 4 year relationship where I was emotionally abused I would rather not.

[genericname85]

depends. certain things are fixable or bearable. some aren't. for example i wouldn't ever date a person with borderline personality disorder or a psychopath.

[19LukeM94]

It depends of her awareness of the problems, if she tries to reduce the symptoms by going on therphies (for instance), then why not?
Otherwise, if she has surrendering character, then I wouldn't mess with her.

[markitus]

Of course! I already did, I think of I can make someone happy by dating and I like him / her, why not?
Of the guy / girl you like have issues like that and he likes you, maybe you can be the solution for him / her

[Joshyjay95]

As long as the mental health issues don't prevent her from succeeding in life.

[BCA6010]

Case by case basis. If it's something , then really serious, then most likely not.
