Do any of you suffer from mental illnesses that cause relationships to be more difficult than they need to be? Or maybe even make it close to impossible to start one?

I don't a have mental illness per se. What I have had is abuse in the past which makes for abreactions at times with certain people, ie: men. Makes me super picky and intolerant.

Might be mild post traumatic stress disorder. I'm not saying that's what it is. But it's not an unreasonable guess.

I think there should be some sort of support group for people with life crippling mental illnesses. I personally haven't found much help anywhere.
