Or if you suffer from mental illness, how are your experiences in relationships?.... Share your stories. :lupe:

Its one thing if they discover they have a condition after you've been together for a while. But upfront? No. Simply no. You aren't a doctor or a cure. Its a disservice to them to attempt to be and its eroding your own definitions of a healthy relationship because you're missing out yourself.

Hell, when I was going through a lot I made sure that my shyt stayed my own because being codependent is NOT the answer. So many people bandaid issues with relationships...

I dated a girl with Down syndrome in 9th grade :yeshrug:
:what:
:martin:



anyway back in the day I dated this chick that worked in the same building I did in DC. Some other chicks seen me going to lunch with her a couple of times and they tried to warn me that she be talking to her cigarettes :dahell: I thought they were just hating cause shorty was fine as hell! :lawd: she was kinda weird but I thought it was just because she was having some issues with her manager on the job and when I went to her house she had a REALLY bad as son who I wanted to put hands on :beli: I dealt with her for a minute but to make a long story short one night ol' girl called me and asked me to come over her house. When I got over there she was REALLY going through it because her gas had been turned off and some more shyt and she was obviously off her meds. She was switching through personalities like every 5 minutes :merchant: one of them wanted to fukk :shaq: one didn't :mjcry:
one of them wanted to chain smoke :francis: one of them was freezing:patrice:one of them wanted the lights off :skip:one didn't :troll:one wanted me to go home :dwillhuh: one didn't :francis:
it got to be about 6 in the morning and I was already buzzing so I finally got fed up and was like I'm OUT!! So I go home and get comfortable in the bed and my phone rings. I look at the ID and it's her:huhldup:
she asked could she come to my place and take a shower because her gas was off...I let her and when she got to my apartment she continued to do the same damn thing :sadbron:only difference was I caught the one long enough to hit it :mjpls:then she switched again and got embarrassed and left. I called her a few days later and asked was she alright and she said why would I say that :dahell:I told her she was tripping the other night. She say oh really then quickly got off the phone and she never called me again. Came to find out shorty was schizo and didn't like to take her meds...I hope she is ok now :mjcry:

I'm not trying to be malicious in any way. I'm genuinely interested in what it's like on the other side of the fence.

Its terrible and unhealthy. I'm not being malicious either. Its trash and all the habits and baggage you pick up will only make it worse for the next person you meet who isn't suffering from something you plainly aren't equipped to handle.

Love
Yes

She confessed to me that she had been in an "institution" when she was younger. She had gne through many depressions before too. Then another time she had an anxiety attack where her job had to rush her to the hospital. I went to pick her up at the hospital and it was quite scary to see her like this. She said she used to get them very often when she was younger but hadnt had one in years. Seriously scary sh!t when you witness it. Good thing she was already with the doctors when i got there

Overall she cool peoples. It doesnt affect her daily life that much. Funny and fun loving. Cooks and cleans. This is a woman that would come to my place on friday to spend the weekend. Spend her own money and buy me groceries. Cook, cleans, and fukks me and then goes home on monday morning after she cooked me breakfast. Did i mention the mean head game :banderas:
Edit: i meant anxiety attack. Not panic attack
