Would dating someone who has a mental disorder be a turn off, and would you even date that person?

At that point, should dating be your focus? Or getting healed from those things? I would hope he prays to GOD and asks for him to help him. I would try to be a friend. But not have as a lover. He needs healing and to focus on getting help. If he is not stable enough for an equal relationship, it will just aggregate his symptoms and it wouldn't be healthy. I have my own problems and seeking God's healing in my life. You're going to have to find out how the heck did you end up with all of that. And let me say it's what you wouldn't want to hear. That does not sound normal or get a second opinion. You should not again, be concerned if others would date you. But that you get to a point where you don't have those problems.
You are very right. I know that, it's just my life long dream. My ultimate goal, is to have a family of my own one day. A happy wife and 3-5 kids.
Your welcome. Take care. They have focus groups, programs, etc that you can look at for some guidance. But know that it is possible. But you have to know the root that got you all 5. Once you know the roots you can pluck it out. Once you pluck it out, know that you may not get an immediate result, or you just may. But don't do this by yourself.
I can't do it with anyone. I'll just drag them down with me. I've been to therapy before for the problems, but my Dad kinda forced me to stop because he was getting sick and tired of it.
I'm not dating anyone right now. I wish I was. Being in a relationship gives me such confidence and drive to do better it just naturally brings up my mental health without asking her of anything.
You can do that just by volunteering, working in charity, and having good friends who bring that out of you. It is your choice to only hold that in for a relationship. Relationships are what you make of it. And I am telling you as somebody who never dated. Don't be fulled with the 'grass is always greener' mentality. It doesn't anything for you. You have to work with what you got and you build with that. You have all these problems. You need healing first before you end up ruining somebody else's future.
I can't afford it. Honestly it's way to expensive. The last one was going to charge me 1000$.
I need to find out how to get medical coverage first. I don't know how any of this works. I was never taught
Neither was I, don't worry about it. What you would have to do is go to a clinic or hospital. Ask them if they have medical assistance forms for you to fill out, as you have no insurance. Tell them why you need one. And they should be able to have a few copies. You can go to your states website and fill it out. But I highly suggest that you speak to a social worker who works at the hospital. From there, they should be able to link you to the right people depending on your needs.
I dont even think I'm worth fixing at this point. I always fail at everything and honestly, I kinda just want everything to... end.
Nope. I have ADHD too, as well as anxiety and depression. It didn’t stop me from getting a relationship.
Personally no it wouldn't be a turn off for me if a potential partner had a mental disorder. My girlfriend has depression and ADHD and I personally have Anxiety and depression.
Date yes, as for having kids with them, no. I wouldn't want to have kid that is going to suffer with that all their lives. I just don't think it's fair to them.
