As long as you’re not hurting others then no

i dont think i’ve ever dated someone that didn’t struggle with some aspect of mental health. what’s important is that you’re working on it and seeking help. you are still worthy of love.

first of all i think it’s great that ur going to therapy and trying to get better! that’s a huge step in making ur life better and u should be proud of it. for me its only an issue if i am a partners sole outlet for their struggles or if it manifests in like extreme jealousy or expecting me to be replying to their texts 24/7, bc then i feel like i have to be perfect all of the time. imo being able to admit that ur struggling and seeking help are qualities i want in everyone im around

If your mental health is decent under late stage capitalism, you’re moving through the world eyes closed and I don’t trust you

Yeah whenever it becomes an issue for others is when it becomes a problem

Depends

It’s always depends on how it affects your relationship with others. No one wants to worry that their partner is violent, manipulative, uncaring, unstable, etc

As a person who struggles, if you’re actively in an episode/slump I wouldn’t recommend starting to date. But when things feel better and you feel ready, it’s just about being honest. I always let my partner know where I’m at and ensure that he knows it’s not him. I have a depressive disorder that I will live with forever, but it gets easier to manage when you’re able to not identify with it. Tell yourself “even though I feel like shit right now, this does not define me, and this will pass.”
