Wait, dating somebody with a mental illness is against the "rules" of dating? I obviously missed that memo. Why is it against the rules?
I think MaxE is pretty old and from an age less forgiving of mental illness. So mental illness is a sort of thing people would avoid, if it were obvious.
That said, there are different levels of mental illness, even for the same disorders. Some people are functional and others are well, 'barking' (mad).
There's a very crude saying about this that I sometimes encounter on Reddit, so I really doubt it's an old person thing.
