Here it is. If a person has a mental disorder and is disabled because of it, would you be willing to be with them and help them out? Be honest.

i.e. female

male, female, whichever your into.

Semi-been there. NO WAY! NOT EVER AGAIN! Bi Polar is no fun to be involved with!

Have done that.

Just left that situation behind. The hard part is wanting to help when they won't admit to it or try to get professional help. Then, when you've finally throw up your hands out of frustration and walk away, they say they'll try. By then you've had enough and when they realize that it's over, it's back to the status quo and you never loved them, go when the going gets rough, are just like so and so...
blah blah blah

yes, i would give it my best...i try to stick it out through thick and thin..

I think the key words here are *and is disabled because of it*. who dosnt have a mental condition of sorts in this crazy world. we may not all take or need medication yet when it gets to the point that you are disabled its a new ball game.

I have a relitive that is disabled due to mental disorder.... I would so not want to deal with all that entails becouse I dont feel that there is a reciprocation of love and I dont want a dependedent relationship and that would feel like one to me.

this is with regards a new relationship not one that I am in and this situation presents itself.

You have a good heart. It's good to see someone who would be willing to try. I didn't specify what mental disorder. How about schizophrenia.

Nope, cant be dealing with that. Everyone is entitled to suffer a bit of depression now and again, but if its so severe that its a disability i would rather not get involved.

as that is exactly the one I was thinking of .....

Noway, Dan is 100% right

Been there, done that not worth the stress..

WOW.. this just goes to show how cold the world has become.

And what wait for them to have a breakdown and kill me then chop me up and put my body parts in the freezer and possibly eat me later? No way! The problem is schizophrenia is you never ever know when the break is and if they're on meds and then stop taking them, they can break rather quickly... It's an awful disease, I feel badly for anyone with it but I would not be with them..

I'll agree. Cold indeed.

ANd I thought i was a jaded cynic , I bow down before your powers Madame

It's not cold it's a choice... We've chosen to not have illness in our lives.. There are those that will be ok with it.. It balances itself out as does everything in the world...

You can call me cold if you like, but i think i am sensible. People with certain mental problems cannot see the world logically. Being in a sane and logical state of mind myself, why would i want to put up with all the illogical bullsh1t that would come my way? sod that. Women are illogical enough at the best of times already!

compleatly agree. after seeing first hand the actual issues and posibilitys I just dont feel that entering a relationship with someone who has an illness like this is a healthy thing to do. it just makes me think of those types of people who enjoy having someone NEED them not just want them. I dont feel any shame about desirering a partner who WANTS me and is not NEEDING me. nore do I beleve its COLD HEARTED to want that. its only cold if you are in the relationship and then leave once this has happend.
