my ex and i... he just had depression (he thinks it might be ADD now) didn't work out aside from being friends with benefits again.

Whose to say there aint someone out there with the illness that has it together enough to start a relationship with? having the illness doesn't make the person abusive and combative. As long as they are taking their medication and seeking therapy there's no reason not to try.

Im not saying having an illness makes someone abusive.

I have it together as far as relationships go (with people. Bf, family etc).

Maybe im biased cuz both my exes didnt try to take their meds and it has left a bad taste in my mouth regarding dating people with illnesses.

I feel so guilty cuz i deal with stuff too. But i just cant handle trying to hold someone else up while holding myself up.

Not looking forward to this week....there's still that conflict in group and I just wanna sit home and isolate.

But I know isolating isn't good for me

This is how I feel personally as well

I think there are many that can make it work but I struggle enough trying to keep myself stable as it is

I would date someone with sz if they were on the path to recovery ie no illegal drugs or alcohol and taking meds...I think it would ease the feeling I currently have where I wonder what the bf would do if I have an episode...there would just be greater understanding.

I would date someone with sz. I mean hell I have it and I’m maintaining a great relationship. I’m a doting wife and mother. Ive been stable a couple years. It really is possible to build a relationship with mental illness.
I wondered how my husband would handle it. I was out of control and so delusional. But he stepped up and saved me. He brought me twice to the ER, visited me everyday, called the hospital to make sure I was safe from that guy. Then when I came home the last time he took a month off of work to help me recover.its not easy but my husband swears it’s worth it.

Omg guys. I am so sick this morning. When I’m not vomiting I’m wanting to be. I tried working and almost projectiled on my keyboard. I’m taking the morning off and hoping I feel better this afternoon.
