Not a deal breaker.
However if symptoms of my partner's mental illness affected me too much I would dump him before any real feeling has a chance to develop. It's practically best solution for both.
If they have a major physical disability or depression then the most I could offer them is friendship. I am not bothered by minor physical disaabilities (like I had this one crush who lost his ring finger to a lawn-mower)
Occasional panic attacks, learning disability and anxiety is fine. But depression is a no
It really depends on what it is and the severity. Most mild things aren’t a big deal and can be worked around. Mental illness like severe depression, BPD, narcissism, victim mentality, etc. is always more trouble than it’s worth.
I want a woman that is capable of coping with life, which is the bare minimum.
No, I wouldn't care about that unless it was so severe that in essence, I'd become a caretaker more so than a partner.
Handicap no, Depression yes.
I had an ex who suffers from one and it is hell when it triggers. I really don't want to deal with it again, I'm sorry.
Yes, i was falsely accused by someone with a panic disorder. The shit she put me through… i had to take her to court. Never again will i deal with someone with mental illness
No cause if you love them you love them for who they are. Plus if you can’t handle someone at their worst. They don’t deserve them at their best.
You seem very patient and understanding! I have Cerebral Palsy
Certainly not a deal breaker. I could deal with someone who has any of those things.
Inspiring insight. Do you have any yourself, politely? 👍🏻
My boyfriend has ADHD and he manages it fine.
Can I ask a personal question about an aspect of that, please
No because my boyfriend has anxiety and sometimes panic attacks but I always try my best to calm him down
I personally prefer dating psychotic serial murderers but I guess one of these other disorders would be okay for some variety.
I’m going to hell for laughing 😂

By itself it is not a deal breaker. In my case, it depends what I want from the whole relationship, and whether this "disability" is making that, whatever it is, nigh-impossible.
As an ND, I am THAT person, but my issues should not prevent a good marriage with some adjustments. And I would say the same about anyone I might marry. Afterall, NO ONE is perfect!
It’s fine if they’re a good person I can easily communicate with. I want to be a partner that can work around such problems if need be.
No it's not deal breaker at all you adapt help support the person you love as they would do the same thing for you.
No I have autism so can’t really throw rocks in glass houses
@Anastacia1989 Honestly, I don't see myself dating a woman who has a disability or mental health problem because I intuitively know it's a recipe for heartache.
If she’s suffering from anxiety, I just tell her if she doesn’t stop being anxious, I will leave her immediately.
Problem: Solved.
This guy doesn't mess around right here, i was amused 👍👍👍🏻👍😅
I think so.. I have had some people with mental disorders and it's not fun. they have self pity
For all women it's a deal breaker if you're on the spectrum.
