well let me enlighten things a bit.. i happen to be one of those people you speak of with mental disabilities and to be honest i hate it... it bothers me from day to day and i dont know if i could live with someone else on the opposite end of the gender spectrum who has the following things i do...

1. personality disorder
2.bipolar disorder
3. Oppositional defiancy disorder
4 .paranoid schitzophrenea
5.anxiety attacks

the only exceptions would be...

GID (gender identity disorder)
Asperburgers....
so yea.. im pretty screwed up.. all that combinded with the asperbugers makes me life HECK! I used to take a boat load of medicines for it and im down to 1. i honestly hate shoving medicine down my throat for things like that. i wish i could starve the disorders so that they would go away... but i know i cant make them go away tho...

I have Bipolar Disorder, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder and very possibly Aspergers. I dated a man who was almost 30 when I was 21-22. He had Paranoid Schizophrenia and major physical issues.

But he was my best friend, so we got along great. I wanted to marry him. But he was so ill that eventually I had to break it off with him. It didn't help that he wouldn't help himself recover with the resources available to him and the fact that I am an intolerant witch most of the time.

All in all, I could not date another sick person. While their understanding of what I have been through is much more than a "healthy" person, it is a PAIN! I'm sure I am a pain to be with as well, but my tolerance level is too low to deal with, well, anyone, pretty much =P
