Search Results: anxiety disorder

I'm just wondering if you would "discriminate" against someone based on their "mental" diagnosis.
I have social anxiety.
I am working on it.
When I met my husband he was kind of "mean" about it, and kind of used it against me and stuff... as if it was a weakness. I don't think it is a weakness. I think it's more of something like... a goal we are working on and seeking to improve.
I read numerous self help books and go to self help groups as well as seek out counseling. I have my disorder/anxiety due to the fact that my mother and sister mentally/psychologically/emotionally and physical abused me. I did not admit it at first, and thought that "that" was love, and that there must be something wrong with me if I hate them for doing it. I learned to "admit" that I was abused. Then I learned to forgive them, they are just people who did not know what they were doing. What they did was wrong, but them as a human being is still lovable. It's a process and honestly I might not heal from it, but it could change me. I also listen to a lot of TED talks on this topic as well.

Would you date someone knowing they have a mental illness?
