Would You Date Someone Who Is Mentally Ill ?????

[resurrection]

Nobody's perfect as long as her mental illness doesn't drive her away from me I'm good. I'm pretty sure I'm mentally ill in a couple ways and the last thing I would want is the person who is supposed to love me to be on some "fukk that" type stuff

I used to date a women who was bipolar, she was sexy, sweet, fun as well as very bright.
I didn't know at first, until around 5 months into the relationship. She would be all happy and stuff one day or perhaps weeks, then she would be psycho. I caught her at time where she would just be freaking out, maybe PMS .... so I speculated, not like I know much about it. When I asked whats was wrong, she told me she was bipolar. I didn't know how to react until I read up on it. I dated her for about a month and a half afterwards, and then broke it off, not because she was bipolar or ill for that matter.

Anyways, that was a messed up time, and I wanna know whether you would date someone knowingly who is ill, or continue on a realtionship with someone who is mentally ill?

Hell the f*ck NO

Lol..one of my sister's worked in a psych ward and the stories she used to tell me had me spooked. She worked with high-risked patients too. If you don't mind me asking, when were you diagnosed??? You don't have to answer if its uncomfortable

Yoooooo i don't even no yo sis but everything she told u about the ward is true.
I currently work in one you'll see/experience some of the most disturbing shyt in those places.

HELLLLL NO
1. I worked on a psychiatric unit for years. I'm not about that life.
2. Some of it is hereditary. Gotta protect my future children.
3. Life is hard enough as it is.

brehs, enlighten me on this issue. at what point are you sent to the ward if you are mentally ill? and if you are schizophrenic, is it mandatory that you take medication in order to receive ss disability?

The things I've seen done with a plastic spork?! Absolutely not ever never would I knowingly date a person with a diagnosed serious mental illness. I'd date a blind cripple man before I'd date a man with borderline personality disorder.

Once you become a danger to yourself or others you can be involuntarily committed. (Ex. Little miss solja boy on the Marta train some years ago)

Medication is only mandatory if you are committed to a hospital.

You do not have to be compliant with medication to recieve SSI/SSDI/etc HOWEVER if you are found to be incompetent you will have a guardian appointed by the state to control your money. (Varies by state)

From what I know most is voluntary...however you can be sent on a 5150 (involuntary committed for evaluation) like court ordered, or if family/friends feel you need to be evaluated...

[Sandy_Cheeks]

I just presume everyone I meet now has some sort of mental illness off top...

Exactly. I think most if not all have some sort of mental illness whether it be major or minor. Most just go undiagnosed for the majority of their lives.

I would NOT knowingly date a crazy broad. I don't know why a dude would date a scizophrenic or bipolar bytch I have accidentally dated some crazy bytches that may not necessarily have been diagnosed with a mental illness. But they have been on some psycho shyt.

I used to date this chick (fine azz chick) she was sexually abused as a kid. I found out that those events made her a MF psycho. She was mad clingy and over emotional. She was also over sexual (wich was cool for a while)

But she would have mental breakdowns if I didn't return her phone call in a certain amount of time. She would blow my fone up. The bytch would cry a lot and tel me how all the men in her life deserted her and all kinda shyt. I had to slowly distance myself away from her. She was lowkey on some "thin line between love & hate type shyt

Note: why is that crazy bytches be havin the best puzzy?

I have Asperger's. ADevelopmental disorder not mental illness but a lot of the same rules apply. I couldn't date a woman who I couldn't be open about it with and who I share my experiences dealing with it with. I'm also one of those who you cant tell unless you got real close and looking back on past relationships before my diagnosis I could see that being with the wrong person, especially someone who's not understanding, is like walking through a minefield every day.

People deal with shyt all of the time but not everyone can handle everyone else dirty laundry.
