I dunno, I think just about every single person on the planet has their baggage. A good relationship is one that can work around it. I try not to let my mental health define me, and I'm honest about the fact that sometimes I can be a complete pain (I'm depressed, and that means low spells where I won't get out of bed, where I get really irritable, where I won't eat or sleep or do anything but cry...) but that my mental health is not ME. It's just a part of my baggage. And generally, I've found people who know me are pretty understanding. I guess you just have to ask yourself if you were in your partner's shoes, would you be willing to put up with the same kinds of issues you have now? Everyone deserves companionship, and there are very special people out there who can handle all kinds of challenges and stresses, especially if they love you. I don't think it's bad to want to have someone like that in your life at all, especially if you're prepared to do the same for someone else for the sake of the companionship you seek.
